Anyone know of someone that makes a replacement rear crossmember (cross directly in front of the rear gas tank). Tried Kincer and TDK no go. Thanks
Josh

I’m planning to replace mine using 3/16” wall square tube. I’ll cut to be a snug fit and solid weld it between the frame rails. I’ll the add gussets to the top of each side to increase overall structural integrity.

That’s what I’m thinking too. Thanks for the reply.

The way some frames like to spring around when released, make sure to bolt some kind of a brace in front of, or behind the original. Before you cut it off.
Or just leave the bumper bolted on!😁
