This may be thread jacking but it seems to be jacked already. But I was gonna mount my rearsets today and for the top bolt I was gonna drill an 8mm hole then weld a nut over the top of it. I figured the nut would help add some integrity to the frame. What do yall think?

Yes sistering! Knew it had family involved. :ohmy:
Welding that nut on the hole I believe makes it a boss thus adds material and strength.
I kinda figure if a post asks a question after that question has been answered a number of times it usually generates a life of it's own. Sometimes directly related with the original question and sometimes it goes careening off track but remains interesting and informative. Some of the best posts I have ever read here ended nowhere near the subject that started it. Visa versa some of the worst posts here have done the same. Good cop/bad cop...yin/yang...tastes great/less filling if the original intent of the post has been addressed it has succeeded in becoming mashed potatoes The rest is gravy. :blink: :huh:

A quarter inch hole in that tube won't hurt anything.
