As I've come to expect with Suzuki, yet again bolts exposed to the elements are crap
Changed mine for stainless and added the front mudguard stickers as well

Funny you should mention this, I'm just in the process of cleaning mine up and nickel plating them

I went through some salt water once (Regretted it) but I found a lot of the fixing went a bit crusty the next day. Maybe one day I will replace them with stainless.
