Not my style, reminds me of a Jap motor but then to me a Victory motor kind of looks that way.
I do kind of like the chrome ones. All that really matters is if you like that look go for it.....Man I'm so sick of Winter.

I just put them on a few weeks ago. i think they look pretty good. it completes the eng. i wish i could have put them on when the bike was new so they would match the eng better in color shade. i guess in time they'll catch up to the weathering of the heads themselves.

dickey, i don't think HD advertises them as a cooling component, but i guess since they attach to the head bolts they could provide slight additional cooling, but i don't think you would ever notice. the only way to know for sure would be to check the area with a infrared temp probe before and after install.

Had them on my Sporty. One of the first things I put on my Heritage. I like them.

Not a big fan of them myself, but to each his own.
