Bob, I used a reamer as well. The holes in the case are really sloppy, like cast. the stock bolts are quite a bit smaller than the hole.
I have seen the stock bolts get loose and then the cases can break. I have a 94' Monster that had the front bolt loosen and the cases are toast (before I got the bike) But if you don't think you need them, don't get em' ! I put them in every bike!
