These D@## Plastic Body Clips

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The current trend on some ATV's is to use these plastic clips/anchors to hold everything together. My KFX has a few and Honda went ape with them on the Recon and most other models that I have seen. Surely someone makes a special tool to remove these instead of pulling them into pieces with a flathead screwdriver and a pair of needlenose pliers.
Anybody know anything about them?

 

there cheap seems there 10 for a dollar so i keep a tray full, that way i'll never need one

 

Where do you get them from?

 

you can get them at your loacal honda or napa dealer.

 

I replaced about 30 of them on mine when I had to replace my choke cable. 18 bucks from the dealer for 30 of them.

 

Hmm .. The only one that are broken on my quad, are the one on the fenders. .

But, how could you destroy your clips .. I remove mine often and never need to replace one !

 

They get dirty from the backside, then that makes it difficult for the center plastic piece to slide freely in the outside piece. The extremely small head leaves very little to grab onto. Then i get pissed and end up pulling it out in little pieces.

 

Goosfaba !!! J/K def pain in the @$$!!!!

 

there not that hard to get out. but my first time getting them out i reuind half of them so i guess practice makes perfect [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]. oh and at my local motorsports dealer i got 15 for 8 bucks. Cant beat that, always got to have spare [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

You men are putting way too much thought into this.

I have come up with several simple yet effective ways to remove them on my Rincon. I found that rolling it sideways down a steep hillside worked well. The hillside must of course be covered in very thick brush so as not to gain too much speed. Just a few slow gentle rolls and shazamm, they're out. Another slick trick is to scrunch your fenders up against trees & stuff like that. pulls them babies out like magic.

You're welcome. Feel free to ask anytime you need more trick tips. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
