Well I've just moved my bike out of the workshop and am disappointed to note some of the fasteners and fittings are showing signs of corrosion. I've not had a problem with any of my other bikes and last winter was not particularly bad although I suppose it was pretty damp. Has anyone else had similar problems?

With both mine (Bullets), I replaced quite a few fasteners with stainless stuff from Hitchcocks. Extremely cheap compared with the price of the bike, and made it very quickly a LOT better.
Also, squirted Waxoil round the heads of nuts and bolts, so that was there before any moisture could get in.

My Interceptor was delivered last November, I sprayed it with GT85 and put it in my brick garage under a new fabric cover. Not taken out during the winter period at all. Some of the fasteners are showing faint signs of corrosion and I suspect were like that from delivery. I have bought the suspension top and engine g/box s/steel fasteners from our host and will add more as they become available.
