Are you playing around with a bucket racer ?

I'd have a look at a suitable size and length button head capscrew. Material would be good for the application - and it would rivet OK.

I like using solid rivets made from stainless steel 316 I made my own river heading tools (From A-@ Tool Steel) and or the 50 ton press, I dont weld them just press ,seems OK ,Never had one come loose yet?? !!

PLEASE DONT USE POP RIVETS!!!!!!! Even solid steel and buck or use press with suitable tool is way to go.

Thanks guys. Ok as there are 6 rivets but only about 5mm thick ill use normal steel unless someone chimes in with another 316 reply. Installs from outside in with end flattened into a chamfered recess. Greg yes its a old bucket racer. 15 RWHP and bucket of fun. Pun intended. Single shock rear (only on LHS) and Z1000 Koni with under arm bracing and more bracing on top RHS of arm, floating rear brake Hyd front brake, oil cooler, XR200 head and cam, KZ650 piston and 7 angle valve job running LC250 carb and open megaphone. Tallest gearing possible but still pulls up in 3rd gear for wheelies with a tug on the bars. Helps if ure "older" and sit above the shock mounting point.

Guy here running 150cc with much the same bits, dynos at 19rwhp....I built a "GN125" 66bore,destroked crank, 125head with 200 valves etc etc...makes about 20rwhp...
I enjoy the engineering challenge. FXR150's have spoilt it here...
