Default Hot Toppers

I have them and think they look great. My buddy with a street glide likes them so much he is going to put them on his. You won't be disapointed.

I considered getting polished stainless bolts, but decided to get the Hot Toppers instead. I have been very pleased with them. They are a nice detail that make a big difference.

They do make a difference. not a cheap looking cover neither. You can buy whole bike kits, engine kits, or just buy toppers for certain parts for your ride. lot less of a hassle to chrome your zinc plated bolts with these toppers than replacing them with chrome ones. Don't get me wrong, I would love to go chrome bolts and screws but I've read in the forum somewhere that once you break the seal loosening the hardware and replacing with new, your looking for what could be a nightmare. OIL LEAKS. We can all do without. I've also heard when using toppers you should use silicone when installing them. Sorry for my long 2 cents. Get great deals on e-bay also. And yes they are very much worth it. Ray

Definetly worth buying. Bought a kit for my'05 1200C & took most of 'em off when I sold it, & used a lot of 'em on my Deuce.
