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:

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.
