Well I'm no poser, but I wish I had put covers on instead of chrome hardware and I didn't even pay any labour to instal them, cause I had the tech put them on when he was reasembling after a big bore and cam change.
I find they will rust inside the head so I installed the litle clip cover deals, but they will fall off too.
Next bike, I'm doing hottoppers style.

Hey Wally, I put all the chrome hardware on as well. I read on here some time back that someone used clear nail polish and put a dab onto each bolt head to prevent rust. That's what I did and it's worked great.
