I'm starting to put the V back together. The whole project started due to rust issues, so I want to make sure this doesn't happen down the road again. For instance, the 3 holes that are plugged on the left side of the vrod (mirror of where the exhaust mount is on the other side) by little plugs had rust forming in those holes.
I had the frame blasted/coated which leaves all the threaded bolt holes exposed. What can be put in the holes, either before or after it a bolt is installed, to prevent it from rusting? My coater told me to use Vaseline. If I could just get away with anti-seize, I would, but some bolts require Loctite which would still leave areas to be protected by something else.
What would you recommend?
TIA.
