Has anyone ever converted/changed over from the Phillips head screws to the D-ring type quick-lock type on an Vector's side panels? Seems like it would make things a lot easier/quicker on the trail (i.e. - belt change)?
Thank you!
Thank you!

the ones in plastic you can do. any of the ones that mount to the frame I do not think you can do. on my apex they are still bolts instead of screws.
I got replacement bolts from the dealer and removed all of the phillip head screws

Do you know what the Yamaha part number is?

I did the same as Tessie, but you don't need to remove the bottom panel in order to change the belt.
The Hex head bolts I got I believe were for a Phazer? Sorry, no part numbers but I do have a post somewhere (last year?) about it.
