Don't have any pics, but also have an 01. Took mine in for the frame inspection. No problems. 01s were welded using the TIG process.(What some folks might refer to as HELIARC). They went to the MIG (Automatic wire feed)process in 02 and 03.

Take the bike in just to make sure, but you should be alright :yes: In my 25 plus years as a welder,
Mig has alot of variables,such as wire feed,purge gas coverage, weld speed(inches per minute) current,etc that needs to be close. If not, it makes for a porous weld,which in turn will be more inclined to crack.

Honda should have known better.
