I run a pro armor skid plate which i am happy with but it seems that the swing arm is too soft and the bolts always strip out of it or vibrate out. I have re-tapped the holes multiple times and even loc tited the bolts in. does anyone have any solutions? im getting kind of sick of this lol. thanks, Steve :confused:

Thanks man, I was thinking about helicoiling it but that was my last option haha
Have stock swingarm and proarmor skid, never an issue. Not one bolt ever came out, one did strip but I chased the threads and its fine.
Id either helicoil it or tap it out for a larger size and then loctite it in.
