P1000 2022 honda pioneer 1000 5 accessories CANT FIND

Speaking of the self-tapping screws. I just recently bought a used Pioneer and was crawling around under the thing and noticed that a few of the self-tapping screws were missing and others were loose. Turns out some of the tapped holes were stripped.
Is there a better way of attaching the skid plates? The screws are only attached to the frame which is not all that thick and tubular in places.
What can I do with the stripped-out holes? I hate to go with a bigger diameter screw and make these holes any bigger.

Short version (politely) - get over it, it’s a SxS, not a Bentley. The ‘perfect’ solution is to drill out each hole for a Rivnut or weld in Tee nut, both of which need bigger holes anyway.

Obtw: I had exactly your mentality when I was (much) younger but came to my senses eventually.

Short version taken politely, and I know it's a sxs and treat it as such (even a looong time ago when I was young). I do however want the skid plates to stay attached. They won't do me any good if I leave them on a trail somewhere.
I will look into the options listed but looks like I would have to have something welded for the tube frame.

The skid doesn’t care if it’s being held on by 6mm or 8mm self tappers.

Rivnuts and Nutserts install without welding. Rivnuts install like a Pop rivet, you’ll need the pliers; make sure the handles are short enough to fit under the buggy if you don’t have a lift or some such. Both will work in round tubing.

Yeah, I was just looking at them. I'm guessing the self tappers are 6mm, I'll have to check. 8mm could be a solution.
Thanks for the info 👍

They‘re 6mm on a Talon but not sure on a P1K.

Skid plate bolts are 6mm (and NOT self tapping).
Everyone loves nut-serts but look at plus-nuts.

I would add gorilla grip glue - wait for the glue to dry before inserting the bolts.

Edit: I switched the link to the YouTube of most interest.

I used rivetnuts on my skid. It is time consuming but people on here really like it.

Just read through this whole thread... What a labor of love sir!! My congratulations to you and your bride!! That's a fine looking functional machine! I've started down a similar path with my '16 P15K and it's been fun so far... Not even close to the class you're in but still a fun project... I...

Just an update. I decided to go with rivnuts. Easy to do, and work well.
Thanks everyone for your inputs.
