P1000 Skid plates without self tapping screws

[Vikes79]

I have been recently replacing my bolts as I lose them, going with 8mm bolts and rivnuts.

I never liked the way they had me drilling and tapping a piece of tube to bolt my skid plate up. So far, I've lost about 5 of those bolts, mostly on the outer edges on my Tusk skid plate.

I do worry a bit about the rivnuts - what's going to happen if you spin one of those suckers trying to get a bolt out? Seems like it's going to be a nightmare in its own right...

A little bit of anti seize on the bolt threads will help, otherwise just drill them out.

Junk ass Yamaha.

Uh, the RMAX had all 42 hole pre drilled, tapped, and reinforced. Skidplate installed in 30 minutes instead of 2 hours.

JAH are the ones needed drilling.

Ricochet on mine. They use the Factory mount points with no drilling

Quit using all them fancy, shmancy words!

'Okay, I get it . . . how 'bout a plethora of different proportions?

This is what I used on my P1K machines, same bolts thread into OEM holes too. I ended up putting rivnuts in every hole, 42 per machine for the FUTV skid plates.
