sterzy

Well that kinda makes it sound like it's not possible without creating an air leak. I have a box of 100 of the nylon screws arriving today, that should hopefully last me a while... Thanks.

Doug, I know the size (M5x0.8) and can get the parts easily enough. $1.50CDN/each from the local shop or $6.50US/100 from McMaster-Carr. My problem is that I usually end up breaking the screws off in the middle of a ride and don't have anyway of clearing the hole out (while everyone waits) and re-securing the fender back on fast. I'm just curious if anyone has tried and verified that this thin section of the airbox actually has an air cavity behind it and is not solid near the edge where the insert is. Thanks for the response.

Hello All, Brand new to this forum... - tried to introduce myself and couldn't - searched for my topic without any success? so here goes... I have a 2002 SY250 and I want to know if I can drill out the two rear brass inserts in the airbox, the ones that hold the fender on. I'd like to put 2 zap-straps (zip-ties) through the holes but I'm not sure how much material is available before hitting the air chamber if drilled out. One of the inserts has its threads destroyed, possibly by a previous owner. Any info or direction would be appreciated.
