Having either clutch problems (most likely) or the tranny is going...seems to lose power and will rev while clutch is out and i'm trying to get it to move and will not put power to the rear wheel? Ideas...
Is that a cable type clutch, or hydraulic? If cable, check to make sure there's free play at the lever and nothing is binding. If that's not the cause, it might be time for some new clutch plates. OEM Honda clutch plates are pretty good stuff, I'd use those before going aftermarket.

Well i finally had the time to actually look at the bike just goes to show you make sure you do your preride checks!!!
Guys and Gals take a look at these pictures and see if you can tell me who the manufacturer is of the rear wheel its not standard but i need the bolts that hold the rear spocket to the rim. I had some a small shop put the rear tires on for me and i didn't (kick myself in the a$$) double check their work after they were done. So since i didn't do that and i didn't check the torqe on the bolts on the rear sprocket i lost them all. Does anyone have any idea how i can identify the bolt sizes?
Looks as if it is not bolts that are broken but the studs are broken inside the holder. Also why would a shop have to loosen those to change a tire? You may have some fun getting those out of there. Good luck.

Before you give up on it, take it to a machine shop.

Yea i thought about taking it to a machine shop already thanks guys for your input. If they can tap it out then rethread it should be ok if not then i'll have to look for another rim i imagine.
Great news!! I contacted an old work buddy of mine from when i worked in Hydraulics and Pneumatics and the shop where i worked of course we had a machine shop inside. I contacted the shop manager same guys from 13 yrs ago and he said he would tap out the crush drive/hub that i broke the bolts off into. I asked what he wanted for payment and he said hey just take a look at my computer for me i got a virus and i need it removed. I was very happy to hear that compared to what alot of the other shops around town wanted to fix it. I should have it back by Monday
EDIT: BTW the rim i have is a PM Chicane which I contacted the mfg and of course they don't make it anymore. So i'm very happy if my old work buddy can fix this for me.
OK I have a question. Are you planning on drilling the bolt out the tapping the hole to a bigger size? If so this will make the bolts needed to large for a sprocket. You either need to drill a smaller hole then use an easy out or drill and helicoil the result to get back to the original bolt size. Hope you were just using short hand or this is helpful.
If everything tastes like chicken..... what does chicken taste like

Yes he said he will get the old bolts out and chase the threads so it should be the same.
Have you gone back to the shop that swapped the tire for you to ask why they messed with the sprocket bolts?
I thought about it but as it turns out the shop i went to was a Harly shop with anti sportbike ppl there they work close to my sister's work and have done favors for her and did this as a favor. I don't want to go back to them at all f'em. Other probelms have come from this shop they tried to charge my sisters checking account for 200+ $$ and said opps that was an accident. Funny part is that she didn't buy anything from them we still don't know how they got her account number. The did give her a credit but still kinda left a bad taste all the way around so i'm not going back.
Well i got the crush drive/ hub back on Friday finally got it all together today and put 40 miles on it. Feels great everything went together without a hitch all i can say is that it is awesome!!!!!
The first two pictures are after i got the hub back and started to put it all together. The last picuture is of the hub right after i got it off you can see the sheared bolts in the picture.
