Wouldn't it be nice if they had one part number for it all?
Looks like that "decorative / hardware" section pretty much has what you need, and then some.

Some manufacturer's such as Gardner-Westcott sell kits to do primary, transmission and cam cover.
Also bigger kits available from Custom Chrome and the like...

I have used hot toppers on all my bikes and never had a problem with them, and I like the way the look, they also tell where everyone goes...


P.S. if you ever lose one ( which I never have ) they will replace it free, just my 2 cents

Forget the chrome and get the polished stainless. No rust - no worries, ever!

Skip, I like ur attitude...

Do ss fasteners shine as well as chrome? Not sure if I've ever seen ss fastners on a bike, but that's prolly the whole idea.
Where do you purchase them from?

I like the hot toppers as well, they are a little pricey but they sure make the bike look good..

I'm seriously thinking the hot toppers are the way to go. Those of you that have used them, are they difficult to remove? Do you damage them or are they not as good at holding on after they have been removed a few times or will they stay as new?
