Default RE: Black Engine Bolt Covers

I think I'll buy the bolt cover kit over the weekend and paint the ones that go on the black areas of the engine black before I app;y them. I'll talk to the dealer what they suggest to use to paint the ones I want black. Once I installed them I'll post some before and after photos.

Although, I just surfed the Hot Toppers site and I think black covers in the black areas of the FLHX's tranny/Engine/Primary would look hot. How can they melt if they are metal? right?

More surfing, they are ABS, I guess they would melt. That sucks. Are the HD covers also ABS?

More research the HD covers are ABS too. What gives.

Good idea! I would like to know if anyone else is selling these, I need black. I will not buy the plastic ones due to the heat. Anyone know of another company selling these?
Thanks, if you are thinking about covering up your Derby chrome bolts with black covers, I think it would not melt.
