If you are looking for studs, here is what I did (although my holes were
not buggered at all):
I installed new mounting studs during installation. I ended up
purchasing a bunch from McMaster-Carr so that I would have the one's I
needed. I used 40mm x 8mm x 1.25mm studs with an 8mm schnoor washer and
a nut. 40mm is a little long and 35mm would be better - especially for
the front-most stud/oil line clearance. But, I just bent the oil line a
bit and it works fine. Here is a link to the stud I used at the
McMaster-Carr website:

O.k, guys. I just got the alt kit from Greg F.. I was, for some unkown reason, under the impression that it mounted to the frame, over the engine, when in fact, it uses hte gen. bracket holes ontop of the block. Some of you know this already, having bought/installed it. The holes ontop of my engine block are R E A L Y bugered! That's why I was hoping the alt kit mounted to the frame. I am going to keep and use the alt kit, but I need to know what I can do to repair the gen. bracket holes. I know this has been discussed much, but I wasn't paying attention, becouse I 'thought' I wasn't going to use those holes. This problem has been the #1 hangup for me in getting the bike finished...
