Bolt cover kit

I am looking for a bolt cover kit that would be a complete set for 19 electra glide standard. Would prefer black but chrome would be ok. Any one have any suggestions. Thanks

Ciro makes a nice set but it's pretty pricey for plastic

To each their own … I completely get that. Just forewarning you these bolt cover kits won't stand the test of time due to bolt removal for maintenance / repairs. Plus they only increase labor costs when techs start having to remove them.

I think the bolts on top of the rocker boxes are the most hideous thing, but that is the only bolts I would consider worrying about.

I found some on eBay a while back, word of advise, get the type that do not require silicon to secure. The interference fit are easily removed for maintenance without cleaning. By extras you’ll need them.

That’s all I’d need to know and very true.

I agree! When I got my engine build done, I couldn't help but notice that my nice highly polished and buffed out deep chrome rocker covers with dull plated bolts looks like a sow smeared with lipstick. No bueno!

I used the HD chrome bolt kits on the engine and primary covers. I think it looks much better.

I bough them from Amazon. I think I paid $16 a kit and ordered 2.....you will need the extras. Make sure you put a dab of clear silicone in them when you put them on.

Some bolts on the bike I replaced with Chrome bolts like the riser clamp bolts , switch housing bolts , derby and timing cover...
