[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 534828, member: 3828"] Well, I are a engineer of sorts (electronics), but we didn't cover hole drilling in my classes. I'm sure this won't meet the odot seal of approval, but when I had to drill holes in my plastic tail section for the 1st gen Yamaha trunk bracket, I used an appropriate sized hole saw in a variable speed drill run at very slow speed so the plastic wouldn't melt. The holes came out perfect. Then after I decided I hated the butt ugly, double wall, space wasting ahamaY trunk and switched to a Givi, the two plastic hole plugs I got at the True Value fit those super smooth holes perfectly. :blink: [/QUOTE]
