yes, they are a hd product in the accessory catelog. Also ace hardware stores, in most locations, carry a very good line of quality chrome fasteners. check 'em out...

I swapped out a lot of my chrome stuff with stainless steel. Chuck them into a drill and polish them up with metal polish and they shine like chrome and won't rust.

When I had that style clamp I just used hottoppers on them. If you use chrome get some clear nail polish and paint the inside of the hex so they won't rust.

+1 here. Especially the allen head riser bolts. Water just sits in them and the inside of the allen head rusts. Doesn't matter how carefully you dry the bike after washing or clean it after a hard dew or rain. They always rust up. Only good option is chrome caps which I don't like or else stainless steel. Besides, you can get stainless steel of almost any bolt on your bike at any hardware store or fastener shop. Chrome is sometimes harder to find.

I capped over them with the chrome caps from ace. $4.00 . Mine may be different from your since I have pull back risers. I did not cap bolts (did use SS), capped the top block since my bolt heads were down in the c-bores of the cap. Used a little strip of double sided tape on the barbs to insure they stayed put. Guess the real application for these are a sink faucet. Got the risers, billet tack mount and tack off e-bay. Harley made the caps 1/4 wider bolt spacing then my original pull back risers so you needed new risers. Did not come with caps?! Sometimes after bowing to the great Harley godly graven image I catch him with his back turned and flash him the bird.
