Hi Guys,

Can anyone help I know Hot Toppers used to sell them but I think theyve gone under.

I need bolt cover kit in black for my 2014 Street Glide.

Has anyone seen or know if they exist.

Thanks

Richard

 

Doesn't Harley have them? I thought they did.

RE: Black Engine Bolt Covers
DONT BUY THE BLACK HOT TOPPERS. they will NOT hold up to the heat.

i had them,,,they melt even with normal engine temps, they will deform and look funky. The chrome one reflects the heat and holds up good.

serioulsy, bolts cost less than the friggin toppers. I only use them where its not feasible to replace the bolts. Use polished stainless.

 

I had always purchased Hot Toppers and had good success with them. However, when I purchased them for my 2010 Street glide I had a lot of problems with the chrome wrinkling up and ultimately peeling. They replaced some a few times but then just stopped responding. I think they had trouble with the 96 and up engine size heat. I replaced them with Harley aluminum ones. No more trouble.

 

I got chrome ones on e bay same as hot toppers

 

Seems like those bolt covers just trap water and speed up corrosion. Bought a used 07 Dyna once and every time I removed one of those things the bolts underneath looked like crap. Just my experience...

 

I bought a whole kit from Eastern Performance on ebay.


Drag Specialties standard bolt covers, part # 3520010 for 9-14 FLH/FLT.


It covered everything I needed and then some, and its only 54.00

 

Thanks guys for the replies - Ill take a look at the DS ones
