Rich , I have a little Burr King polisher with little 3/8" triangle media. This media may be to small and pack into the threaded holes so may need to go to larger ones.
Good idea on the chop saw. I have heard of many using them on alum. but never took the plunge I guess.

FYI as seen in the pics below I have put a dot in the lower LH corner of the parts with LH threads for identification. When installing on bike it will make no difference on which side you put them as you are not peddling like on a bicycle so unthreading wouldn't be a problem. You can put some loc-tite on them also.

People have asked a few questions about these.
1) Are they awkward and hard to get use to?
Answer: about like it was when you rode your first bicycle. Once you get use to them , it becomes second nature to flip them around so they are flat if they get turned ----- unflat.
2) Are bike pedals strong enough for motorcycle use?
Answer: Have you ever watched Bubba the 180 lb. neighborhood kid thrashing around on his mountain bike, jumping off curbs and going down stairs or racing down a mountain side? If you motocross your RX3 then you might break them. For the rest of us mortals ,I think they'll be just fine based on the 2 sets I have on my NC700x and RX3.
3)Warranty?
Answer: None written or implied blah, blah, blah. I checked all these individually for fit on my RX3 so if there is a problem with fitting, which I doubt seeing the quality with which the RX3 is made, it would be a simple thing to sand them to fit I would think. Cheaper pedals may have threads that are not quite up to tolerance, I don't know. That is all out of my control. As for my part, I stand behind my work as a fellow RX3 owner and will take care of any problems that arise.
4) Benefits of using these?
Answer: A larger pedal foot print so even on the highway I find my feet are more comfortable and get less fatigued. When standing on the pegs all day going through jeep, forest service roads is where they really feel great as your foot stays level with the rest of your body and the cycle just pivots below you. It's MAGICAL
5)Coolness factor?
Answer: Seriously how many people do you know with bicycle pedals on their motorcycle?????
