Somehow the Nutsert is a new concept to me and I already see plenty of uses for it so I want to get a good set to start with.

What’s everyone’s favorite setup for use on the Honda?

Are there ones that are made to work on plastic? If so has anyone successfully did away with the push rivets on the stock fender flares and other places it’s plastic to plastic?

First use will be for new skid plate I think. Seems like good place to use that style setup

These are what Honda provides when installing upper doors on the 1000. They also use a rubber well nut if you add plastics to a base model machine.

I have the Smittbuilt that 4WParts sales. It's the double handle type. Very satisfied with it.

McMaster Carr Nutcert tools are much better than Northern Tool or anything you’ll find in a big box store.

I have a Right angle tool and a straight tool.

I just do this with a drill turning the bolt.

Fast and easy.

I should add I have a large nut that is slotted and holds the head of the insert from turning.

If you guys would add a small roller bearing between the nutsert and the flat washer it will work much smoother
I have done this if only installing 1 or 2, but perfer to use the correct tools when doing multiples.
