well.....the subframe bolts on with 4 bolts, there is now way that you would want to weld that.......

secondly, its aluminum, and finding someone to TIG that up would be really hard, most people dont weld that kind of aluminum.....

What are you trying to do exactly???

your frame is steel, the 600rr is alloy. you can make some mounts on your steel frame for the new tail. or you can weld 4 mounts to your frame so the 600rr subfame will bolt up.
