The fender strut bolt at the rear with the washer has begun to rust badly. both of them, literally the only rust on the entire bike. it’s driving me crazy. I have tried so many things to find exact replacements, preferably in black, or at least something stainless, but I cannot. Bought one bag of black ones that actually fit half decent, but the original hardware that goes on the bolt behind the fender doesn’t match somehow. would love to get some cool ARP ones from Bamco or somewhere, but there rear fender strut bolt kit, the bolts are like 1 and a 1/4 or something, not even close.

any ideas?? should be so simple, I know, but in practice, Iv struggled
