Does anyone here know if they sell a stainless steel bolt kit for the Buells? My Buell is in mint condition except for the stupid bolts that are all white from corrosion.

Check with Al at American Sport Bike. Pretty sure he's got 'em.

Have you tried WD40 on the bolt heads?

just be careful torquing those SS fasteners, they may be stainless but they're also soft, try those plastic toppers in chrome or black finish.

+1 to the WD40.

Be careful when changing from steel to SS fasteners. They aren't as strong and should not be used for structural connections.
