Default Changing rocker box bolts.

I have a 2016 wide glide and I want to replace rocker box bolts with chrome ones .the question is where is the best place to buy the bolts and should I get a gasket .it only has 500 miles on it so far and I wasn't sure if I could change one at a time in sequential order without removing rocker boxes .

There is a torque sequence. But I highly doubt it will leak if you replace one at a time. That being said conoly is the go to for chrome hardware

Put chrome caps (toppers) on the stock bolts. Changing out the stock bolts with chinese chrome bolts is asking for trouble.

Do them one at a time and you shouldn't have any problems. Consider Diamond Engineering polished stainless bolts. They are first class act, thought a bit pricey. Avoid the Chinese ****...you will be sorry in the long run.

The majority of the bolts on my bike are polished ARP stainless (17-4 PH @ 170,000psi). Most came from Alloyboltz.com. They have nicely organized and labeled kits for most sections of the bike.
