Alu-Rack and 2004 Subframe loading???

[machfj]

I am considering the "Alu-Rack" for my 2004 Hayabusa. My youngest daughter, 14, expressed interest in taking a 2-3 day MC trip, so I drew a 500 mile radius on the map  and said, "pick someplace".

So we will need luggage, and I am wondering about the rear subframe of the 2004 'busa, since I have heard earlier models had issues.

The 04 model of the busa has absolutely no issues with the subframe strength.... SoI dont think you need to worry about it

...A suggestion though is not to cross the payload as precribed in the manual!

Only 99-00 models had the aluminum sub frame.
