You can use stainless bolts on bike engines with no problems as long as you don't fit them dry. I use a nickel based paste which I've used on high temp areas on gas turbine engines.
1200 GS bolt kits?

I get A2 stainless nuts& bolts from my local supplier, they have every 'standard' metric socket head and bolt heads in stock, and only charge a few £££ for small quantities, cash of course! Most are used on engine cases and other lightweight places, brake master cylinders, levers and so on. I always use nickel anti seize as stainless and aluminium alloys don't mix well...been restoring classic japanese bikes for many years without issue, its plenty strong enough for most vehicle applications, but if unsure just go for A4, with anti seize, will last forever

Have you seen this set (depending on your bike model)? Not tried it myself but thinking about it.

Thats not a bad price for about 40 fasteners, I'd buy a set but I've already swapped most of mine with stainless socket heads/allen bolts.Have you seen this set (depending on your bike model)? Not tried it myself but thinking about it.
