Has anyone found a reasonably priced riveter that will hold up the the 3/16" SS rivets that are included in Yamaha tunnel closure kit?
I just destroyed the second tool. Have 9 more rivets to go.
Anyone have a commercial riveter in the Chicago area that I can get to blast them in?
Thanks,

I used a Harbor Freight cheapo air one, worked great- Then took it back afterwards

Thanks. I was wondering if one of those would have enough guts to do it or not. Usually cheap and pneumatic don't go together very well. Only one I could find otherwise was $125 which is crazy for 12 rivets.
Was considering the loaner tool program too...

I borrowed a large rivet gun from the Yamaha dealer but in the past I also borrowed one from a local body shop.

Got them in last night. Cheap($27 after 20% off coupon found online) Harbor Freight pneumatic riveter took care of them fine.
Thanks for all of the suggestions.
