The rear bolts are typically studs that are simply placed in bushings in the rear hub. It provides a cush drive effect, to take up the shock load.
The answer is to buy Honda studs, which are higher quality. Like these (item 13): http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmot...m2988#sch20077 It also wouldn't be a bad idea to replace the bushings.

Those studs bolt to the sprocket and they just slide into the rubber bushings. There is a big circlip that holds the sprocket to the hub. Most difficult thing is the big circlip.
I have not heard of anyone shearing off the honda studs.

That changes things. Perhaps someone with Q knowledge will chime in.
