Ally Preserver!!!!
Indu, Buy An XT 
Do NOT worry about the ally....... just get yourself some Winta-Wax OR some "Waxoyl" and clean the bike thoroughly. THEN paint or spray ( i prefer to brush) the waxoyl all over anything that rusts or corrodes. PLEASE KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BRAKE DISCS
when that stuff dries, takes a day or 3 but can be speeded up by keeping the bike in the kitchen ( wife/girlfriend/ mother/ landlady allowing) it will never rust. salt will not penetrate unless it gets a scrape.
Yep, spray it on the engine too... when hot it bakes on. ok smokes a bit, looks crap as it goes dark on the exhaust but it will never rust. and if its only a winter hack. you aint to bothered about the appearance.
to remove in summer, solvent, a brush, and a pressure washer. tis the ONLY way.
