Sub frame is on...... It looks GREAT.. and very strong. I waited part of the day for a friend to arrive to give me a hand putting it up and bolting both sides in unison. It was not quite as difficult as I thought to get all 12 bolts to tighten up in unison. All bolts were threadlocked as well. Tomorrow morning I'll be putting some black silicon sealer over the bolt heads and mounting the Inti rack.

I took the cruiser for a test drive to 80 mph and didn't notice much except a slight bit more wind noise. I expect there will be a bit more once I get the inti on with the light guard on the front.

For a strength test, I got on the center cross member with my full weight of 205 lbs and no movement. Then I put my full weight on one of the side rails, and I noticed no difference either. Very stout.
