I used to not like them, but after seeing them on a buddies bike, I'm planning on getting some. Just the starter kit though, not the whole bike. I think they look good on the engine and primary. Not stop much on calipers, etc. How often do you remove engine and primary bolts anyway?

 

I like this reply - prefect. In my situation, the bike is more primarily for events and such. It definitely is not a daily rider or for long trips. As for the guitar photo, there isn't a band -- I work with a charity that uses guitars to help bring awareness of the dangers of youth and teen depression and suicide. I formed the nonprofit charity corporation this past December after my teen son committed suicide. We are partners with Bluebonnet Trails (state funded MHMR) and Austin Children's Medical Center. We are also a member of the state's Texas Suicide Prevention Council. The guitar I am holding in the photo is a tribute to my son (who was a great musician). You can learn more about us and see some of our media at http://www.PickWithAustin.com

 

Some are real tight some need silicone to stay on. Some are real hard to reach to put on. Especially when it's a tight one

 

WOW! I can't even imagine that kind of loss. Your one hell of a man to do what your doing and the tribute puts me at a loss for words. I have lots of respect for your strength brother! No reply nessesary.

 

I put them on my ride I like them. But they are very addicting.Once you start you wont stop until they are all covered. It was actually fun though cause I did a little at a time. Good luck with your charity,being a musician myself, I think thats an awesome tribute to your son.

 

Thank you. I wake up every morning and cry for a few hours. My boy was my best friend in the world. My wife and I got the Harley in hopes that it may help us escape life now and again for a ride. She even bought some boots and is going to take the rider course at the end of this month - she may ride! Meanwhile, I'm also spiffying the bike up a bit... got a real nice 2007 with very, very low miles and it looks really nice.

 

I have them on my bike and I work on it.
It's not a show bike, though a buddy keeps trying to get me to enter it.
I even replaced the exposed black zip ties with blue.
Now I just need to mount my new chrome top motor mount...

 

I have the on my bike and I like them..

 

Decision made. I just won a kit/set off of Ebay, so we'll see how that goes. Thanks all for the input.

 

I do not find them to be a problem. some are held with silicone which just peels off pretty easy. I think they look better than the stock bolts which to me stand out like a sour thumb to each his own. i always say do what you feel if you like it do it. no one else matters there have been times when i did something and did not like it later had to find out for myself i have bought a few things that i thought i liked and then sold them on e bay
