Stainless steel contains chromium and nickel and a low level of iron.
little black spots? heres some 50yr old cad factory plating, still lookin pretty good in my purists eyes. SS is OK and very shiny/ pretty, but how will a person reproduce that correct look with it? Don't forget the correct markings, again only a purist thing.The original type Cad plating which the Judges love is the real crap. It tends to develop little black spots of corrosion, even when the bike is stored in a dry space.
It's right up there with the leaky cork type fuel taps, which Judges also slather over.
Stainless looks as new forever and solves a lot of problems if used as directed.

A lot of stainless steel seizing problems are down to the fact that most SS threads are cut whereas carbon steel threads are rolled. A cut thread will pick up or gall, copper slip will improve things. Removing the front mudguard of my triumph street triple had the threads in the alloy fork sliders come out on the SS screws. Modern bikes have blue glue on the threads to stop them coming loose adding to the problem.
