Anybody used any of the Kuryakyn Kool Kaps? Good or Suck?

Don't have experience with the Kuryakyn Kool Kaps, but I had Hot Toppers on my 97 WG for years and they held up well - 10+ years in some areas. Changing out to chrome bolts and replacing them.

My experience with anything Kuryakyn is that they do not last. I'd go with the Hot Toppers myself.

Hot Toppers are no longer in business.

I got my Kool Kaps today. Look great, fit like ****. Loose. Not recommended.

The only Kuryakyn item that has been any good whatsoever has been my drivers backrest. Everything else has been junk. So much so I wouldn't recommend any of their gear just in principle alone, even the backrest.

Ciro makes a set that looks pretty cool - if they send me a black kit I would be happy to demo them hint hint!

I will even post pictures!
