Seems like any chrome bolt will rust, I use a Q tip and put oil in the heads, my highway pegs need it at least twice a year but if I keep up with it I don't get any rust.
Try dabbing it with any clearcoat. It seals any cracks in the chrome.
Did not replace the handlebars as some as thought they read, just the controls.
Double Holy Chit!!!!!!!! $675 for two chrome levers and housings only......Too rich for my blood. So, which lube did they use, the 20W50, tranny fluid or Gear oil?
Not to be critical but you know what all that chrome does in sunlight right, at certain times of the day the reflection is going to be burning your eyeballs right out of your head.
I'm with you guys on working on my own bike. First Harley and even after I screw it up at least once I still save money. Put a buffing wheel on a bench grinder use some polishing compound and no one will be the wiser.
