    What purpose do those tailgate screws serve? Worried about any possible damage from unscrewing it and then putting in the D-Ring.
    Thank you

    Do not use the screws they screw into a plastic nutsert and will just tear out. I'm not sure why someone would suggest using them. The screws hold the plastic cover on

    Unscrew it and see what it screws into. You’d be amazed what you can learn after just trying it out. People have given plenty of viable options for your concern and seems to be a valid concern for loading the motorcycle. Torque settings of any bolt on the tailgate will pretty much be unnecessary and if you’re still concerned more, there are several screws back there so you can add multiple d-rings if needed.

    I'm not a super fit guy, but I can put my 63lb 13' kayak in the bed of my truck myself. A 50lb bike would be easier to handle.

    I popped over to YT. The comments are pretty funny. Apparently, he got busted in 2016 for (allegedly) flashing elementary school students.
