The 2 main frame bolts - 900ie / 900

The bolt in my crash bungs is a purpose made shaft with threads either end rather than fully threaded rod.

I can't imagine threaded rod is ideal as the threads would cut into the engine and, well it just looks cheap.

Presumably the thicker area where the thread is could be re-threaded to 12mm easily enough. Through drilling may require a significantly longer bolt and given the speciality design of the bolts, you may struggle to find such a bolt off-the-self?
