Jason Tanner's KX500 frame gusset kit.
motorman455:
Will an M8 Riv Nut fit where the seat bolts go in the subframe? I've been thinking about replacing the small M6's with M8's like all the new bikes use.
sandblaster:
Yes it will but just barely.
I would only do it as a last resort due to how thin the sub frame is and I would not want to weaken it.
However, the M8 would be way better than drilling it all the way through and bolting from the far side as so many do :roll:
motorman455:
Yeah that's what I figured on the M8 Riv Nit. I agree that drilling all the way through would be a bad idea as the subframe would collapse if you torqued the nut and bolt too much. I'll leave the stock M6's until they need replacing.
sandblaster:
This will show you the size difference..
motorman455:
Thanks Sandblaster! That's about how I thought it would look. If drilled properly, it looks like it would just fit between the upper and lower surfaces of the subframe rails at it's o.d.
