I'm on my second set of Shelly Valley sidepipes for this reason. I've tried this solution a few times on each set with varying results. From experience and discussion with Dana at Shell Valley, the "sweet spot" is to drill and run the screw about 1.5" back from the weld.

The other, and only permanent option is to retro-fit the sidepipes with Classic Chambered inserts.

This is my plan. I'm done with this "whack a mole" game!
