Upgraded subframe bolts

Today, I drilled the frame and installed Eagle Mike's bolt-through subframe kit.  Drilling the frame took around a half-hour, mainly because I spent a lot of time cleaning the shavings as they collected on the rags.  As instructed, I drilled halfway through from both sides and the holes met up about 1/16" off in the middle.  I just had to drill a bit deeper from both sides to even it out, and the bolt made it through without much binding.  I now have heartburn, which is funny because I hardly ever get heartburn; must be from stress (I was a little worried about messing this up!!).  Now I can install my black gas tank that I purchased from a local guy parting out his 2003 bike.
