Default casting marks

i was washing the bike the other day and noticedsome small indentations in the cast sections of the frame (neck area, subframe mount areas, etc....). at first, especially around the top subframe mountingbolts, i thought they were cracks and nearly sharted myself. i had to go by the stealership later that day to pick up my spanner wrench ( $7-friggin no tools honda cheap *****) and they had a left over 06' on the floor and looked like (low lighting)it had the same types of casting flaws.just wondering if your frames had the same type of casting marks?[&:]

the marks are small so you can barely see them. you need to get real close up or superman vision. if you could post some close-up pics that would be awesome Candymanmo06F4I. thanks, cheers

My bad i forgot all about it when i got to the house. Ill make sure to do it since my bike is here at work and i drove my car to work today. Ill use my camera phone first and put those up tonight at home and bring in my camera if it isnt already in my car. Sorry for not doing it sooner but the military got me running like a chicken with its head cut off sometimes.
