found my nuts
I was up at the honda dealer today and that is all true about the nuts being welded in and no access area to get to them so I ended up making my own access hole with a small hole saw and will weld it back up. The nuts were loose inside the frame and I got them back on with some monkeyshit on the end of a screwdriver. Why does everything have to be a pain in the dupa? Thanks for your help everyone!
