Yes, I've got some bolts in polished stainless that I've moved from bike to bike, still shiny after 7 years.

Another thing that's easy and cheap, includes polished stainless (and chrome, not the cheap part!).... My FLHTKSE came with unchromed, unpolished front rotors - all my previous CVO Ultras came with chrome floating rotors. So I spent an hour with a cheap polishing kit from eBay, and got a good result I think. Completed the effect with chrome bolts from HD - couldn't find stainless - but because the chrome bolt kits come as a five, and my rotors have seven bolts, had to buy three kits.

Oh, and another thing that's really cheap, and replaces a crappy plastic part with chrome, is to replace the cheap plastic plugs that go on either side of the swingarm pivot nuts with the chrome ones that were on models up to 09. Cheap, and clips straight in. (67865-89 - 2 required)
