Yeah, 'er 'uh, Jock,
  I had the Chrome Headbolt Bridge installed on Ol' Maudie, until I changed plugs one day.  Way too much hassle for Hub.  Can't use 'em with compression releases, either.  Look good, but a real pain to put on and take off!  Later--HUBBARD

Yeah, I did the silver

Went on easy - looks good - but is not an exact colour match.

8/10 I'd say - but I'm leaving it on there...

Cheers

I also did the silver. IMHO it blends in well w/rest of the motor. Just goes to show I can add something that isn't chrome.

Bret,
Make sure you point out to SEULTRA that we can buy things that aren't chrome even when we have chrome options to buy. :D

I have the chrome cover on the Heritage, looks good. I wanted to put the same one on my seeg when I bought it, but was told it would create too much heat with the lowers on. I went with the finned one instead. Don't use the allen wrench that comes with it to install, real slow going. Instead use appropriate sized allen socket w/ 1/4 " drive  much smoother going. I can't have the bridges on anymore due to compression releases. Oh well...more go...less show.

I've spoken to several dealers and no one can give me a real answer as to why the chrome jobs can't be used with fairing lowers (best guess is heat transfer,  but knowing a little about thermodynamics, I don't buy it.....maybe it's a little too little) Anyone have a definitive answer????
Yes,  changing spark plugs is a pain in the butt,  but take a socket (chuck it up)and turn it down a few thou' and you good to go.
What's the poop????

Option 1 and the Dyna fuel line I see.

Everytime I ask my dealer he frowns on the idea and I don't pick it up.
