I got a set of these the other day and noticed there is no rivet holes. Also thought maybe they seemed kind of weak for my 280lbs body without gear. Just a little nervous about cutting my running boards for something that migth bend. Also disappointed about no pre-lasered rivet holes. Whats up with that? any and all feedback appreciated.
better boards?

Put a set on my new 09 Dragon. Installed just like the posted pics on here. Same number of rivets. Took no time to drill holes on a drill press. This way you can organize the number of rivets and space them accordingly as you fell the need. Second side install twice as fast as the first. What a pleasure to have no snow build up on the running boards. A couple of rides to get used to the need to lift your boots slightly when moving around on the boards. Develop the new habit and everything is good!!!
put mine on last sat, cut out the center and drilled the suspension rivets and clamped em in place, drilled from the bottom up and riveted it, i all the rivets in from the bottom and did one every crossbar, works awesome and stiffened it way more than you would think, i'm 230 without gear and no sag at all, oh, and i did all mine by hand, no air riveter, did it in 2 hrs start to finish while tim tebow was gettin humiliated and cry'n like a girl
