I got me a $10 set of chrome HD tire valve stem covers to be installed. I cleared the garage, covered my tins with towels, rolled the toolbox out from against the wall, got 12 Heineken Lights on ice and some wings(50). Got some friends coming over to help. Did I forget anything?

Question for you wrenches out there...

Is it clockwise or counterclockwise?

How many pounds should I torque them?

Will they make a hp/torque difference on the dyno?

Will they add resale value to the bike?

Do chicks dig them?

Lemme know please. Gotta love working on the Harley...

 

Sounds like party time to me!

 

Punk *** beer for a mans job

 

Make sure you don't mix the front for the rear and you should be ok.

 

Sounds like a good job with friends on a rainy Florida afternoon.

 

Chrome?
I've read that black is faster.
Chrome?

 

Be sure to put on your HD uniform before you start: HD dealership t-shirt, HD jeans with nice, crisp crease ironed in them, some HD boots with a nice shine, and a chain drive wallet to compliment your belt with skull doo-dads riveted on it.

 

and use plenty of thread lock (red) prior to torque down

 

Looks like you're prepared for the job, but aren't you forgetting the chips?

 

For all concerned....a standard plastic valve stem cover fits perfectly in a 40 mm round casing. A little super glue and two shot 40 mm's make a great valve stem cover.
