I haven't I had it welded I will do that I'm assuming just lay a weld down on the outside rim where the rivets are? I hope when my stator cover got demolished my stator isn't trashed too. Thanks for the encouragement man, I was talking to the Yamaha parts kid yesterday who's never seen a Zilla and barely heard of them I laughed and told him a buddy told me this bike wasn't built to ride it was built to work on he got a kick outta that.
