use a wash bung and cover it with wd-40 or similar after cleaning. Common sense really.

steel wool with wd-40 to get rid of the rust, a film of wd-40 after everywash and ride should keep it looking new.

get a scothbrite pad DELICATE DUTY (make sure its delicate duty because heavy duty scratches it) and clean it with that and wd40. do that as much as you can and make sure you do it after you wash it or if it gets wet.

paint it with high temp paint? :clue:
just keep it clean and a coating of rust inhibitor(wd40)

I used to have that huge rust problem in the 1980's when the unfinished pipes were all you could get. We used Aluminum rim cleaner for mag wheels, the one with acid. Just look at Auto Zone, etc. and make sure the bottle states it has acid in it. Spray it on pipe, use some cardboard or something behind the pipe for overspray if you don't take it off the bike. The cleaner just absolutely brings that new works finish right back. Wipe down and then coat with WD-40!
