Replacing the 'backwards' centerstand bolts

[trepetti]

Getting ready to do the rear end lube on my 2006, and I see lots of info about the 2 centerstand bolts that cannot be removed because they are constrained by the exhaust. I see lots of folks saying that you should cut them out and replace them with the bolt heads on the inside and the nuts on the outside.

Does anyone know the size of these bolts? I'd like to have them on-hand when I am doing the job
