Wow, that is surprising to me. I was under the impression that 304SS will not rust.

Even my stainless steel Milltek exhaust started was covered in rust after 3 years on the island. Suprisingly, my Ohlins never rusted, those crafty Swedes knew their roads would be covered in road salt lol
Not sure. Maybe if holes were cut in the tops of the OEM top mounts to allow the shafts to get through, water entered from there somehow. I'll have to take a closer look.
