A dealership in GA tried to charge one of the guys that ride with us an extra 90.00 when they serviced his bike. I used to be a flat rate tech but 90.00 WTF ?.

Hot Toppers really do finish off your bike.

 

Probably just charging an hour or so in labor to take off and replace 'em.

 

I have the Hot toppers as well...would cost WAY too much to use non-plastic caps...they caps actually work very well..I had a couple of the tighter ones crack, but are easily replaced....have had the engine set on for over a year with no issues...

 

I like Hot Toppers. They're relatively inexpensive, easy to fasten and look great.

 

I have Hot Toppers on every visible nut and bolt. I saw another 2005 SE Fat Boy in for service at the dealership. It didn't have Hot Toppers. All the nuts and bolts were covered in a white corrosion.

Wow, there's some cool stuff there. If you can think of something for your bike, somebody already makes and sell it.
Why didn't I think of that?

 

Hot toppers look nice if you like the look but to me, they seem like more things to keep polished.

Just my .02,

At $ 92.50 an hour shop rate; what's not to love about them? They are as easy to install/remove as picking your nose and getting paid for it.

My wifes FatBoy has em too, and an unamed HD tech failed to tighten some bolts as charged on the bill. I could tell that they were never removed for the service. A dab of silicone was the smoking gun...
