When I picked up my '04 Thruxton last year it had only 450 miles on the clock but the corrosion had already crept in between the clearcoat and the brushed alum underneath. I have been taking the covers off one by one and sanding them and polishing them to a mirror finish (there's a massive thread on this subject for more info if you need). It's a big job to do all of them but it's the only way to get rid of it - or spend $400+ on a chrome set or the powder-coated ones which you can get in all types of colors.
