Default Hot Toppers

Has anyone installed any Hot Toppers on their blacked out engine? Not sure how they would look. I know they come in black and chrome...

i have seen some pics, and the black ones look terrible in my opinion on a black engine, as they are glossy black and the engine is flat black. if you have alot of chome on your bike, they would probably look good. I just wish that they would come out with brushed stainless ones. I would get them for my bike if they did

Brushed or even a flat black. I also think the gloss black would look terrible. Would like to see some photos if anyone has done this....

Just throwing this out as food for thought... Why would you put anything on your bolts when you should be checking them periodically on these big vibrators? Why not get new bolts? I have replaced most of mine over time with stainless or black, get the right black or they will show rust.

I ordered mine from Boltdepot.com

If I had gloss black primary, rocker boxes, trans and cam covers I would go with the gloss Black toppers. That would look good.
