Has anyone had any issues after adding the Kuryakyn and harley chrome on the engines with heat? I know my softail use to get hot and it was totally chromed out. I want to start that process on the electra glide but I am afraid of the heat. I know it is a covering so heat is trapped but just wanted opinions on this.

Kuryakyn doesnt hold up to the heat as good, i will never run there chrome pasrts on mine. have had it on other bikes

 

I have a rule about chrome. If it's a replacement part, that is chrome instead of black etc, then it's an option. I will not put chrome covers on my bike. (a chrome part that covers up the factory part) it does limit the removal of heat, and I don't care for the appearance of them

 

I've got the chrome trim on my Ultra,but I also have the Jagg fan assisted oil cooler with wardspartwerks FCS. Been running that set up for a year now and my bikes never run cooler and thats with all the chrome.

 

I have the Kury chrome engine covers and have used them on all my bikes. I don't think they cause a noticable amount of heat and the Kury chrome does hold up.

 

Kuryakyn chrome is probably made in the same chineeeeese factory as harley chrome. There was a time harley chrome was better but for the most part that doesn't hold true anymore. As far as the heat issue I've never had a problem resulting from putting chrome on it.

 

Don't blame Harley,blame the EPA. If you're on Facebook , type in EPA Abuse and see what else they're messing with!

 

Nobody's blaming harley the bottom line is they get there chrome from the same place as kuryakyn. There's a great deal of parts imported from china that has nothing to do with EPA. A good example is the chineeeeeese chit they use for wheel bearings on the new touring bikes. And yes I know they are in business to make money all I'm saying is some of the stuff they sell is no better than the next guys when they make it in the same factory. But if you feel they deserve more money because of a logo stamped on then by all means buy it its your buck

 

Chinese does not mean Chinese. Just cause a part might be imported does not mean its crap quality. Big companies have way better quality control then smaller ones putting crap parts.

I'd you think the EPA doesn't have anything to do with imported chrome your ignorant.

 

I didn't say that the chrome parts being made there didn't have anything to do with the EP I said that there's a lot of products made in china that didn't get there because of the EPA and by the way if a part says made in china and its not Chinese that what would it be seems to me me you might be the ignorant one
