Many people encounter lose sidestand bolts. I tightened them twice already, trying to clean the threads and applying Loctite, and they still getting lose. Is there a permanent solution?

It is behind the exhaust, and any allen key I can locate does not fit in the space between the exhaust and crank case. (A normal wrench would slide into that space if the there was a normal bolt.) To take off the exhaust, you have to take off the upper fairings, and according to Norge Body Work Disassembly take off the dash and windshield

Does anyone have a parts diagram for an '08 Norge they can share? I'd really like to see weather or not MG intended for there to be one or two bolts holding the side stand plate to the block.
Additionally, a previous post in this thread indicated there was a tech bulletin on this issue? does anyone have a copy?
thanks,
Kurt

After my last ride, the side stand is now dangling, but holds the bike up. I thought I could get a replacement bolt but I don't see where, and the parts schematic only shows 1 (a #20). I now know to regularly check stand bolts. What am I missing with the side stand??? The attached picture was taken last Wednesday - side stand still OK , and yes this was WORK!
