Bike problems (pics added)

11BravoCrunchie
There are 2 bolts that anchor the seat of my motorcycle to the frame. They're both supposed to be 12mm, but one of the previous jackasses owners didn't know any better and replaced one of them with an SAE threaded bolt--1/2 inch, I think. Now, the threads in the frame (it's a nut welded to a hole in the frame) are stripped out to the point that a 12mm doesn't work anymore. What can I do to fix this situation?

    If you'd bought yourself a good old Suzuki GS, you'd never have this trouble.
