  No offense Gerard, but you have to back the " more corrosion issues with

At the minimum I know that there is a greater galvanic potential between 
brass and steel vs. stainless and steel.
Brass is also softer than stainless steel. I think that is an issue 
especially in the clutch bore of the MC where
more wear occurs due to more frequent use and longer stroke.

The outfit http://www.resleeve.com looks to have been doing stainless for a 
long time, and on a lot different makes.
I would think there would be a reason for them not using brass.

I am in no way critizing the work that Joe is doing not to mention your own 
efforts...
Brass may be adequate and cost effective as per Peter C's comments.
