They *are* cheap compared to OEM, but the paint/painting applied is not very resiliant to (Dutch) weather influences.

another winter project then....   make them look pretty again...

The above after 2 years. I suspect Honda OEM will last longer....

These bolts rusted within 1 week....

The US retailer that sold me them (powersports something), actually told me to contact the chinese manufacturer but had no address for me......

Mine are greyimg somewhat on the stalks.

At the first sign of corrosion, I painted the bolt heads using some black spray paint squirted into the lid, and a cotton swab.

I usually do all the non-OEM Allen head bolts on my bike like this. They are parkerized (phosphate coated) which does offer some corrosion protection, but it's not great, so a little paint on the bolt heads is the trick.

Mine  are  starting  to  do  the   samething  .
