Polished Stainless Bolts (Transformation Kit)
« on: December 21, 2009, 09:52:25 AM »
I have switched out the galvanized stock bolts in previous bikes with polished stainless and am considering doing the same for the SEUC on order. Dealer switch-out is expensive (labor) but they will replace those involving the mods they will be doing (cams/exhaust). I will then do the remainder I can access and save the rest for subsequent shop work hoping to eventually get them all replaced. Have many of you swapped them out? I personally don't like the silver of galvanized against the chrome. I know its a detail but that's just me. Thanks

Went with the hot toppers, a lot less time than breaking all the bolts loose and risking a leak.

Went ahead and bit the bullet and had the dealer do it prior to delivery of my SESG... he didn't cut me a break, but it's done...labor was slightly less than the kit ... factory bolts always bug me, especially on the CVOs.

I put hot toppers on my Heritage in 1995 and they still look good. I have even taken some of them off and put them back on again with no problem.They  are also on my 09SEUC. They are easy and they don't rust because they are plastic. I also found that their customer service was great. CAHDBIKER

Hot toppers are the way to go for me.  I replaced what I could with chrome and  finished everything else with hot toppers.  Nice, clean look...withou the dirt or corrosion inside.

I have from a few builders that you can't get better bolts to hold touque then stock, not to create oil leaks
