Just bought a kit from PolarisRider1 to drill out holes in running boards on my 2000 rmk. Anyone else done this? If so any suggestions/tips? Everyone I've asked so far seems to be very happy with the end result.

please post a picture of the result i need to do something to mine would love to know how it worked for you
Will do Mr. 420, hoping they're here today.
How much was the kit and what is included? My boards need done something bad.
It's $48 and you get a step drill, the dye, 2 bolts, 2 nuts and 2 washers, includes shipping. I'll be done with them tomorrow if you want to buy mine. It is amazing how much stronger the running boards feel, no more flex. Plus the grip is just soooo much better. I'll put some pics up tomorrow when I'm done with the other side.
If you click on the link a couple posts above you can see a picture of what you get and what some of the end results are.

If you think you'll be done with your kit I'll for sure buy it. I've got an 05 700 RMK that suffers from bad boards. Let me know. Thanks.
Here's the finished product. Took about 4 hours total, with breaks. Once you get the pattern set, it's just drill, torque, repeat. Use an air wrench if possible to tighten up, then torque by hand.

Kit
Would you be willing to sell the kit, looks like polarisrider isn't making anymore.

I am still making them! email me at polarisrider@aol.com the dimple dies fly out of here so fast that it has been hard keeping them in stock. Very easy to do, way less money and work than cutting up your boards and it looks stock.
I am only doing 1/2" kits this year. The 5/8 kits are ment for every other dimple. They do add strength to the boards and lets the snow out. I came up with this idea after dealing with snow on my boards for years. These are very popular on Edge chassis sleds but Doo folks buy the kit also.

Yeah I don't want to steal Polarisrider1's thunder, if you know what I mean. If for some reason he does run out, let me know.
I have them ready to ship. Dang thing doesn't wear out, simple and strong kinda like my RMK Pro! lol
Sold out the latest batch that showed today. I will have more by wednesday.
Shipping a set to Alaska tomorrow. Thank you Chuck! I just got a load of 4x4 jack shafts so production will continue on these kits. It is nice to recycle.
I am interested in getting this for my fusion's boards.
