A while back, I put on clip-ons which left the holes for the risers uncovered. They rust easily/quickly. Is there anything I can do to remove the rust and keep it from happening again? It's the tubes that go through the triple that are rusted, but it doesn't look like I can remove them. Gently sand it and paint with auto touch up paint?

I think I remember you saying you were in the navy it could be if your bike was around the salty air. I would just sand the rust off and paint it with RustOleum ? maybe idk just the only thing that comes to mind.A while back, I put on clip-ons which left the holes for the risers uncovered.

Boeshield T-9® | Corrosion Protection and Waterproof Lubrication
You can get this stuff from about any respectable marine store. It's not cheap but it should last for a while. I use that on all the cars I take care off. Once or twice a year I clean the under carriage and suspension and spray Boshield T9 all over. I let it sit for 10-5 minutes then lightly wipe the excess off.

Thanks for the link Marthy, I will give it a try. Efforex, yeah, the salt water in the air is a killer. I park my bike less than 100ft from the ocean five days a week. It seems impossible to keep the chain from rusting too. It's sad to see the 50 or so bikes parked together and most of rusty chains. I tried using a cover, but it seemed to collect more grime on the bike than without it.
Idk if that is a grease but maybe using a grease would be the best thingI've been using PJ1 Blue Label.
