Default Looking for chrome bolts
Hey there! I ride an 06 Streetglide and I've added alot of chrome to it and I want to change the two 12 point bolts that hold the front calipers in place to chrome plated but Harley does not sell these. Has anyone changed these to chrome and if so, where did you find them? The sizes are 10MM x 80MM and 10MM x 35MM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have a place that does chrome work near by? You can always try chrome that hog.com, I live pretty close by, never gotten anything chromed there though

I've thought of that and I'll go that route if nothing turns up!

I know every time we are replacing bolts with chrome ones on my buddies bike (mines blacked out so no need there) the local True-Value Hardware has an entire section of chromed bolts, bolt covers, etc.

Won't help you I'm sure, but pretty sure Elliot's Hardware here in Dallas would have them. Have gotten a few chrome bolts for my scoots there myself...

Ace Hardware in my locale (or is Ace & True-Value the same thing). Great selection.

They have both chrome and polished stainless fasteners plus covers plain or with a design.
