Hello J. You can use ordinary bolts instead, or buy studs (don't forget they are metric threads). You are better off with the Honda ones for the reason that Eamonn1200
mentioned, ie when they break you have a good stump to get a grip on. If you buy standard studs and they break in the head later onyou are in trouble. Also the Honda studs are thinner and different thread at the pipes end, so if you decide to use a standard one thread/thickness stud or bolt, you will need to file the holes in the exhaust headers out a bit more for the thicker bolt to pass through.
