Welcome to the site from Tennessee! Haven't put them on my SEUC yet but had them on both my Road King's. They work good and look way better then stock bolts.

gpopvet, I have been using Hot Toppers since I got my first HD Heritage in 1995. I think they are the best. They last forever. The ones I put on my handlebar clamp are original from and still look like new, as do most of the other ones. I have 65,000 miles on the Heritage and they have been on a few long vacations with a lot of exposure to very high temps and no problems. As soon as I got my 09 SEUC I ordered a set. The customer service from the company is great. Two of the best things I like about them is that they can be removed for a repair and reinstalled ( on occassion I have used a small dab of silicone after having taken them off two or 3 times to fix something) secondly unlike chrome bolts you will never see the little rusty spots in the center of the bolt where the hex drive goes. I know some people cover them with chrome the chrome inserts , but again that is more  money. As you can tell I am a fan of Hot Toppers. My favorite thing about them is that you can buy a set and have them installed in less than 30 minutes. Good Luck CAHDBIKER

I like the regular chrome ones best.  They gave full kits that will cover just about the whole bike.  Pricy for the kit, but once they are on you will be glad you did it.   Silicone is the key to keeping them on.

I guess I am the only one who doesn't care for them.  Pay the extra money and get the metal covers from HD-from a 20% off dealer.
