My friend rolled his quad pretty badly and really messed up his headlight and stuff, so he had me take it off. I told him you can go without the dummy lights but where would he want the ignition key? I have the 87 250x plastic but that doesnt mount on his since there is no headlight. I told him I could either zip tie his key to the bars there or I could make a hole in that plastic piece that is coving part of the hood and part of the fuel tank ( im sure you know what I am talking about ) I have seen it done before, I just want to make sure I do it right, whats the best way? Take one of those big screw bits and drill a hole about the size of the one on the stock plastic peice and have the notch? Is it that simple? heh. Anyway some advice please

i did that too, it is really easy and all you need is a half inch hole saw

Yea I have seen yours 300exnj, thats where I got the idea from. I just wasnt sure what kind of drill to use, and like how big, and like you said, put some sealant on it to. Thanks

why would you drill a whole in your plastics and ruin them. just ziptie it to the bars or sumthin thats what i did works fine

How is relocating the key switch to the side panel ruining the plastic. The key is accessible, out of the way (unlike the original location), and maintains a clean look of the bike.

How is it ruining plastic?
I think it looks good there. it looks like it came stock that way.
I had it done like that on my 300ex.
