That looks like the stock replacement that DME sells. I’d buy that one.
Let us know when you figure out the cost plus shipping.

So this is going to be unpopular opinion.
Im about to go to a JL Design Gen 2 6 over subframe with a Montgomery full carbon +6 tail. I really want to drop the bike another .5" for high speed stuff and the stock tail just wont let me do it safely. (the subframe in total would weigh under 5 lbs too)

They dont make the Gen 3 subframe?

They announced it would be ready in 3ish weeks, 2 months ago. As far as I know no one makes a +4 or +6 Gen 3 tail yet either. Catalyst has a +21 and stock.
I do like the look of the Gen 2 tail with Gen 3 front fairings though. And the full carbon tail will match the Catalyst carbon fairings once I snag those up too

Hi all.
Just fyi.
I modified a gen1 aluminium subframe and fitted it to my gen2. This saved me 2.78kg, so quite a good value upgrade.
The fact it's aluminium isn't the problem. It's a poop design without diagonal bracing to transfer vertical loads properly. I haven't bothered, but a simple aluminium strap welded into place from the top mounts down to the bottom rail, out about 6" would fix that issue straight away and very easily.
I wouldn't hesitate to modify one for the gen3 if you were equipped to do so.

Haha proof that everyone likes anything as long as it's different. Gen2 guys are often trying to find any other tail to go into its place.

The carbon is from UAE
I hadn’t talked to JL if their Gen 3 was finished or not I just know they had been working on one a few months ago
