If it's immediately above the screen, it's probably from a replacement job in the past that has let water in, and will be creeping from under the windscreen/trim so will return soon if just treated in isolation. You need to take the screen out to deal with it properly (and hope it hasn't left any holes).

In that case I would use Bilt Hamber Hydrate 80 after removing as much as possible (I treated similar rust successfully on my classic after doing what you have done). Make sure you pay attention to the instructions as it doesn't seem to work well if you put too much on!
Getting the paint to look decent after treating is more tricky, but anything is better than rust.

Hydrate 80 is great stuff. The purple milkshake lol
However, whenever I've done the lid back up, it sticks so tight I can hardly undo the lid upon next use.
I know this sounds stupid, but it's true. Even the slightest nip on the lid see's it stuck fast for next use.
I've now greased the thread on the bottle and lid. Hopefully now it won't seize on again!
Did my rear towing eye a few months ago and painted it. Looks fine.
Take off as much surface rust first of course.
