Pipe on sub frame
Hey, just for kicks, does any one know what the little pipe thing is for that's welded on the right side of the sub-frame? Every one who has looked at my bike want's to what it's for... it's starting to feal kinda stupid saying "I don't know" all the time.

I don't really know as mine doesn't have one but isn't the handle type thing moulded into the side plates for lifting the bike around ??Indawoods wrote:It's to provide a place to lift the bike ......

Yes, it is a handle for moving the bike. I rarely ever use it because it puts all the weight of the bike on the seat... I always grab around the rear fender and sub frame just behind the side panel.KAY DEE EXER wrote:I don't really know as mine doesn't have one but isn't the handle type thing moulded into the side plates for lifting the bike around ??

You're all wet
It is a subtle Japanese attempt at humor. If you stand the bike on it's rear wheel and look in a mirror from the left side of the bike, that extra pipe forms the letter "J" which stand for, naturally, Japanese.
Those Japanese sure have a sense of humor don't they?
