Head Bolt Covers question...

Have chrome head bolt covers. Now that I am picking up my new heads tomorrow. The thing is my new heads have compression releases. Do they make chrome covers that cover the head bolts and comp. releases as one unit. Right now am using the one that covers the head bolts and spark plug as one unit from H.D. Thanks in advance for any help...

I am assuming they are manual comp releases. Why would you want to cover the compression release? If they are covered you can not push them prior to starting the bike. Im not trying to be a smart ***. I dont think there is a cover that would cover everything and still leave the CR accessible.

There's not from HD and I'm unaware of any aftermarket ones either.

I am going to have to cover the head bolts, spark plug, compression releases seperately. Found some at Dennis Kirk...The compression releases have a chrome top on it so it can still be pushed down...Thanks for replying though...
