Default Easy update

On my old bike I replaced a lot of the steel fixings with Stainless steel, things like the rear guard support strut screws, handlebar control screws, now on my new bike I plan to do the same replacing those ugly torx heads. It's cheap and easy while offering a nice look, in my opinion.
