Don't know of the other solution, but mine is helicoil inserts. Cost me $20 to have a shop install them when a hard crash on a rock stripped them out. You can use the passenger peg in the mean time, but it gets to your knee after a while. -Bryan

Yea this happened to me too. Tried retapping to a larger size, only to have it happen again. Helicoil is the solution.

Mine came out the other day too. Man I'm glad I wasn't in the middle of a jump. Or standing up to stretch my legs. All I did was rethread the hole, went to ace hardware and bought the strongest metric bolt they carried and lockwashers and installed them with locktight. Seems to work so far. and I just went out today muddin and jumpin. There still tight. Everyone needs to check those suckers every so oftan!!!! Van

Costs $13.

Is this the pressurized one? Saw them at Sport Chalet for $20, but $13 is better! Was thinking of rigging one for a ride in July. (We do have Wal Mart in the bigger cities, Dooden! ) Krokko -- Dr. J. Christopher Krok John Lucas Adaptive Wind Tunnel Caltech MS 205-45, Pasadena, CA 91125
