Thats cool---now that I 'm thinking they do make stainless caps to go over bolts they had a kit for a road crusier but they wanted like $30 bucks for it --rather replace with aluminum for that price and not have to worry about them falling off......

I just clean em up with WD40 now and again.

Lowe's sells packets of SS bolts and washers in 6-10 mm diameters.  I bought some for an older bike with some rusty bolts, and it made a real difference.  The cool thing is you can file the numbers and grade markers off,  then polish them.  They end up looking like they're nickel plated-- shiny but a shade darker then chrome.  They're virtually maintenance free.  They don't handle smaller diameters for case bolts; a fastener specialty store will most likely carry them.
