Talking Cheap stuff

Cleaned my '19 EC300 again today and noticed that the bolts holding the lower rear mudguard are going rusty The rest of the bolts(that I've seen are fine).....maybe there's more? Surely Gasgas can afford coating for all the bolts?

Or maybe that's the difference between a kick start or no kick start(I'll keep the kick start and coat my own bolts)

I do my own cold zincing so I'll get them coated soon enough Are there anymore bolts that you guys have seen that aren't coated?
