I intend to mount a police seat on my 2005 EGS. Have all of the parts except the rivnuts and those are on order. I am baffled with these rivnuts. Have checked various forums and some say that you need a special tool to install them and others say put them in and tighten. Have talked with 3 dealers within 100 miles and none have a tool to install rivnuts. At least 2 of them appeared to less than me.
Any help/suggestions with installing these things is appreciated.
You need a rivnut puller to install a rivnut. Any sheet metal shop will be able to help you. You don't want to buy the puller as they are $$ for a one time use.
To install the front mounting brackets to the frame.
Are you installing the air ride cylinder,tank,lines etc?....I have an 06 FLXTPI with the stock seat and it is without a doubt,the most comfortable mc seat I have ever sat on...
I am sure that Harbor Freight has a Rivnut tool. I have one that I bought from a tool supplyer for around $20.00 It can pull 1/4" nut. It is similar to a pop rivit tool.
