Have them on my 2000 Deuce and have them on my 2010 RKC. The look nice and don't come off. Never had a problem with them.

The only thing I don't like about them is that they make it look more like a Victory engine. I contemplated between those and the chrome ones

I had them on both bikes. Never a problem. I think it makes it look more finished.

I like the look also.They look great. However, when on a trip make sure you have your spark plug socket and not an open end wrench. A fouled plug messed me up one time and no problem, changed it out.

Well, you could do some SERIOUS cutting/grinding to the bridge.
Or, you could install Automatic Releases that go through the top of the head.

But there is noway you'll get your finger in there to push the cap on top of the Manual Releases.
Matter of fact, the bridge won't even fit without extensive modifying...and even then I'm not sure it'll work.

Got to agree with you on that. I went the way of black finned bolt covers. Kind of match the theme of the bike.
