Default Black Bolt Cover Kit

Anyone know of a high-quality black bolt cover kit for Harley's blacked out bikes? My search has turned up nothing.

Really don't want anything with plastic covers - aluminum or other metal would be ideal.

Thanks in advance.

Any reason not to go with the black engine fasteners?

Harley Davidson has what they call their "Full Engine Hardware Kit" in black. I put installed these on my 2019 and IMO they look great.

hate those silly covers. I went with 12 point stainless polished on my blacked out bike. It was worth the time. Blacked out would look cool too. Paid about 350 for the full kit

They make a Harley black chrome bolt kit that covers all your bolts on the engine, primary etc...

I just bought one for my Ultra Limited.

Not cheap, around $350

How long did it take you to swap out the bolts? Any complications?

Looks good. Was that a HD kit or aftermarket?

Thanks, didn't know HD offered this. How long did the installation take?

not a cover kit, but a replacement kit...

Full Engine Hardware Kit: HD-12600251
fitted three of these HD black out kits now: 2 tourer, 1 softail. Would highly recommend!

although more expensive, there's a reason the H-D kit ran rings around the cheaper aftermarket one I tried initially. It's pretty much a bolt for bolt replacement. All seperated and labelled up in various packs, so you can do it at your own pace.

Do yourself a favour and sit with your service manual and write the torque settings on each diagram before you start work. Made fitting a breeze.
Take one bolt out at a time, replace with the new and put the old bolts back in the pack should you ever need them again.

...Your Mileage May Vary

Sorry can't put a time frame on it. I did it with a bunch of other mods at the same time. But the HD kit was very straight forward. If that's all you were doing its as easy as pull one then replace with the new one.
