I see where you are coming from Waltari..
I spent more time looking at the first pic.. the second one didn't load up on my lap top..
Possible solution?
IMO
Carry the lower subframe tube all the way to the frame.
Either to the cross tube where the shock mounts or to the
large frame section. (I can't see if the subframe is wider
than the Kat frame or not.)
Then carry the upper subframe tube past the airbox to the main frame.
This will give you a wider triangle.
You are welding to firmer ground.
The lines of the subframe will blend better..
Not ripping..
Just trying to make you a safer and IMO cleaner design..

That's the whole point of the triangulation; to distribute the force further up the frame rather than solely to the ends of the subframe mounts. Besides, I welded the shizznit out of the main subframe mounts as well as the cross bracing not seen in the pics. Trust me, this thing isn't going anywhere...but thanks for your concern.--2002 Triumph Daytona 955i

You would say that now that I just got all the body work back on
The braces run from the mounting flange where the top of the battery is to the backside of where the tank mount is on the lower subframe rail...I dunno how much they help but the whole thing feels pretty sturdy--2002 Triumph Daytona 955i

My opinion was that by changing the way the seat subframe
lined up with the frame it would improve the flow..
If you feel it is safe there is little more we can say.
A picture is worth a 1000 words but seeing it in person is worth 100,000...
