Honda chrome bolts are great finish. They often identify with the suffix B.
Other suffixes, courtesy CMSNL:
A= Zinc Plate (White)
0= Zinc Plate (White)
B= Chrome Plate
2= Chrome Plate
C= Nickel Plate
3= Nickel Plate
H= Zinc Plate (Yellow)
8= Zinc Plate (Yellow)
J= Untreated
9=Untreated
G=Black
7=Black

Another little tip. If you would like to fit genuine Honda screws in your handlebar switchgear (genuine ones tend to have a captive spring washer fitted so you don't lose it) however Honda fitted silver screws in a black switch but later hanged them to black so they didn't stand out. To find the later type then use the same system as the bolts. 93892-0502007 for instance is a 5mm JIS screw, 20mm long with a captive spring washer in black. The 550F for instance uses 4 x 25mm screws and 1 x 32mm, these are all available in black and IMO look better as a result. I must admit they ain't cheap though but on a level with the normal silver ones.
