Head Bolt Removal
Hello All,
So my head bolts (I think that's what they are called, the bolts on either side of the spark plugs) are looking pretty rough, they came like that when i bought the bike, just nasty with discoloration. I tried cleaning them up but they are a royal pain to do while on the motor. This being my first Harley (or V-twin for that matter) I wasn't sure weather or not they could be removed to clean without causing issues. If they can be removed easily are there any tricks i should know about? And if not are do you guys know of any tricks to clean them? I know they make covers you can put on the bolt heads but i'm having a hard time justifying spending 40 bucks on them.
Thanks Again!
