It will save you hours of grinding, cutting, and fitting...

Yes sir.. Kiwi Green.

It's a bit brighter than the stock green but it really makes it pop  8-)

I made a CAD file and Jason found a guy to burn them out.

A few of you noticed all the missing inserts on the sub frame...
I've been waiting for the Nutsert gun to come in so I could fix it..

I have one of those, and I love it. I use those rivnuts on everything I can.

Post by: motorman455 on April 08, 2019, 01:04:47 AM
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.
Title: Re: Jason Tanner's KX500 frame gusset kit.
Post by: sandblaster on April 08, 2019, 05:16:27 AM
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:

Post by: motorman455 on April 08, 2019, 12:52:15 PM
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.

Post by: motorman455 on April 09, 2019, 01:54:37 AM
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.

Post by: sandblaster on April 09, 2019, 02:46:15 AM
Yep... with just a whisker or two to spare..

Post by: sandblaster on April 10, 2019, 06:03:14 AM
Since M8 Nutsert is a bit deeper than the M6 so I decided to try it as I had a Subframe that had a hole in it that was to big to repair with a M6.



(http://www.oem-cycle.com/forum/download/file.php?id=7373)

Yep... It works  8-)

F'n right...I've always preferred a plain look too...preferably the "stock" look.
