Busters, 2 tins for £20. That'll last for a couple of years if used sensibly.

Another rust related question if its OK to use your thread Steve (by the way, you do realise thats not an SV in your photo don't you ?) has anybody any experience of the stainless steel engine bolt sets available on ebay ? Is it straightforward to remove and replace one bolt at a time without risking oil leaks ? Do you need a torque wrench ? Are the torque settings supplied with the kit ?

The photo is of the CG125 I hired before i passed my test. I've not managed to get a nice shot of my SV yet. Your more than welcome to steal the thread, I'd like to know that too

I got mine here:

can't say its the best place to get it, but i'm too lazy to go searching the shops. It's not cheap stuff, but it'll repay you many times over. It will stop rust on any surface with a single spary, and is also great as a mainenance spray and light lubricant.

Very easy to fit, and a torque wrench is probably a good idea but not essential. I've used a mix of Chewy's kit and Probolts anodised ones... Which to be honest I don't recommend, they're not strong enough for the application, but I tolerate that because they look good and they're easy to extract when they snap.
