2012 GasGas Subframe Snapped

[FDB]

Hi all.
I have snapped the one side of the plastic subframe.
I crash a LOT so instead of just replacing it, i'm looking into alternatives.
Has anyone done the conversion from the 2012 Plastic subframe to the Ali one?
I assume i would need a new seat too (for the battery compartment) if i do this conversion?

Or, would it maybe be more feasible to remove the plastic subframe bits and take them in to have Ali replicas built?

Has anyone done anything like this?

FDB,
I too have the 2012 and you are right in saying that you will need a new seat. Anything from 2013 onwards I think from memory. Which isn't a bad thing as those 2014,15 seats look so nice and soft.

You're funny. The 2014 seat is a 2x4 just like the 2012-2013.

All the GG seats are like Spanish Inquisition torture devices. Buy a guts racing tall seat, it is the best money that you will ever spend on a gasser.

Sounds like you all just sit too much!

I pretty much never sit while riding. But I want my seat soft when I stop!

I installed the alum subframe conversion kit on mine.
The kit price was very reasonable, comes with seat, side panels, lower frame covers, most hardware. Only needed to get several bolts to install. Some ran into problems with the 12 fuel tank not clearing the alum subframe, mine fit fine. Maybe the kit might come with the 15 seat now?
The 15 seat is much more comfy.

Hamilton,
I like the sound of that kit you mention.. Can you remember what it cost you?

I shopped around and found it for $180 shipped. It came with the 14 seat, just as hard as the 12-13.

$180? Nice!
Cheapest i can find online is $370

This was about the most common mod to 2012 Gassers. If the kits aren't all used up they were reasonably priced but it they be hard to find at this point.

The part number is BE948003013CT, but its not showing in stock. See this link and try sending an email to motocrosscenter. If there is one out there they can probably get it.

Here was an old auction post with some photos, it looks like this kit went for a cheap price.

I got one from Clay when he was the importer. Great mod for sure.

 

[FDB]

Thanx guys.
You are very helpful
I'll hunt around for the Aluminum subframe, but just get a plastic one again so i can keep racing till i get one.

Does rock garden have anything ?

Every time I contact them recently they don't have the part and don't know when it will be coming- and these are common parts top shock bearing, reed petals, water pump gasket

( I dare not mention this on the other forum... it will send GG under again!!)

 

[FDB]

Nope.
No stock.
I think they are getting in, but i would not order one one part at a time if i were them.
I would wait till a few guys want things and order it all at once.
