They are chrome plugs from Harley. I replaced all my stock bolts with chrome ones then installed the chrome plugs.

bolt kits (check for proper part number for your year and model)

Lookin' Good!!!
I did my old EVO Springer (See my Album) and EVO Bagger with S/S lines and fittings.
I've been collecting a basket full of fittings and lines to do the '05.
Couldn't figure out how to remove/install the oil filter (Guess the answer was just too simple for me!).

I like the 'all S/S' better also.
My first attempt I ran the lines up to clear the filter, did no like the look or like I said routing them near the header pipe.

Great Job but I'm surprised you put those stock caliper bolds in, Gardner Wescott will sell them individually 520-298-9661 or the older cover kit 40955-05 has 4 covers that will work for both sides if you like that style.

I do have caps for the bolts. The calipers have to come back off when I get my rims so I did not install the caps yet. I may buy the bolts you posted. Thanks!

Definitely digging the AN fittings/hose. Since you just admitted to the oil changes being a little bit more of a pain, let me ask the dumb question; from the pics (and because I don't feel like moving stuff out of the way to crawl and look myself), can't you route the hoses up-n-over (or out, then around) to allow access to the filter? I'd done that before in automotive situations where the only issue was using a little more hose. As long as I did the install cleanly, it looked good. Was your hose routing based solely on function or aesthetics?

Regardless, that's what I planned for on my Roadie when I do my oil cooler, so it's nice to see what it'll look like ahead of time. Frankly, I love it!

(woops, the other 90 degree fittings I was thinking about might impede flow since it's oil and not fuel. but the way it currently is, it looks like the socket-style oil filter wrench could still be used without too much of an issue. with some recent personal concerns I'm not looking to add time to my oil changes. I'll find a work-around if necessary!)

I figured you had something but it's surprising how many don't because you have to buy each side separately and they are like $34 each. The bolts are pricey, over $9 a piece 3 years ago. Mine are probable different size (metric) than yours but with all the work you've done I'm sure you can figure that out. Hillman also has them also and they supply Harley.
