Do you know a good parts supplier for black bolts or caps?? Any help much appreciated.

Sorry for the dark photo, more coming on my blog: MyRockerFXCW.com

Man....Then I wont embarass myself by telling you how much money I have spent on stainless bolts!! They dont look right on photos. In person it makes sense.

Ace Hardware's stainless and chrome bolt section is a hangout for me!!


I personal feel they do drowned away when all black.
That is why I am blacking mine out, I did not like the way the bolts attracted attention.
the contrast wasn't real bad, but it does look a lot better when you look at your motor and see motor, not bolts
I still have chrome bits and pieces of Gypsy sourced trinketry that need the chrome bolts to tie it all in. If my bike was "Murdered Out" I would toss the stainless and chrome bolts...But I'm still holding on to a lil' Bling and a Lil' Black to make it all work.


I am using Rattle can on mine...
NO!!!
I take every other bolt off, do them...
put them back on...
Meth Kills? LOL!

repeat same process for the next set.
No new gaskets needed.

You rock Bro.

Looks good as is man... What about some Swing arm pivot bolt covers in black? i think that'll look good. Small but makes a big diff with the looks.

My option for your bike.Black bolts or toppers for rockers,pulley bolts and washers,swing arm bolt,primary.Toppers or bolts in brushed aluminum on your cases and other natual finished stuff.I think that would give it some nice detail.
How ya been Chazmo? G.
