stripped foot peg bolts

I think Heli coils for the foot peg is a band-aid
solution. I would consider using a helicoil if I
needed to get by for a while. The original nuts are
only tack welded inside the box, they are not the
normal thickness for that size and they seem to be
made of extremely soft steel.
I followed Dualstar's sollotion to this problem as
provided by Mike. He suggested to cut the footpeg box
face off with a Dremel tool and a cutoff wheel. Make
all cuts at 45 degrees so that you re-fitting is easy.
Cut the original nuts off and tack new ones in their
place while bolted to the footpeg face that was just
cut off. With the footpeg temporarily in bolted on,
alignment will be correct. Then tack the face back on
and check it for correct position with the footpeg in
place. Then weld the entire face of the footpeg
holder back on. It cost me about $70 for someone to
Tig weld it. Now you have two full sized nuts holding
everything in place. The downsides are it takes a
little time to cut the face off and probably more
expensive than helicoil. It did minimal paint damage.

Folks,
I need the sage advice of the KLR community once again. The
threads in the frame appear to be stripped on one side and therefore
the bolts that hold the foot peg don't stick. What can I do about this?
Thanks

Many of us have been there.
The cheap & easy fix is to drill & tap for a 10mm x 25mm bolt, widen
the holes on the mount to 10mm and use a dished lockwasher.
This will hold up to almost any abuse, even Tumuing, but sometimes
not Zacking or occasional Devoning.
Forget the time & expense of a Helicoil. If you're gonna rip out a
10mm bolt, you're gonna rip out a Helicoil too.
Whatever you do, don't drill through the frame for a longer bolt and
back it with a nut like the horse's ass previous owner of one of my
bikes did.

The preferred method is to drill out the holes, re-tap and install larger
bolts. But in a pinch, as in the middle of Baja, you can just weld it on
to the frame.
BTW, are you using an aftermarket center stand?

I do have a center stand from dual star. Maybe I should use a little
be longer replacement bolt once I drill and tap it to compensate for
the added length as result of the centerstand?
Thanks for the input all.

FWIW, be careful that the bolts aren't too long and
bottom out on the frametube behind the threads. Make
sure the bolts can be tightened completely. Dualstar
warns against using locktite here as the threaded nuts
are only spot welded and could potentially break-off
when removing. If memory serves me right, I used 30mm
aftermarket allenhead bolts with my DS centerstand.
With one flat washer and one lockwasher between the
bolthead and peg bracket, there was only ~1mm left
between the tip of the bolt and the frame tube after
fully tightening (it's hard to see in there).

One reason may be that it would then drop a lot of users. I
don't like web based forums much. I really don't think I would
keep up with this group if it did not have an e-mail option.
I use USENET, and do like that for threaded forums, but I have
yet to find a web based forum that works as well as my USENET
reader, so again, I just don't follow any web forums.
For the Net newbies: USENET is the stuff that you see with google
groups.
