Default Caps or bolts

Chrome caps, or chrome bolts? I will be doing a 95" this weekend, and was wondering.

Hope you did bolts,just finished replacing all mine on an '05 Fatboy,looks hot.Most riders don't notice the small things like chrome bolts,so its nice when a motor head points it out.

Ive done the chrome bolt thing, prefer hot toppers. chrome bolts will rust where you put a wrench on them
