Default bolts for rocker box covers

A while back I purchased some bitchin chrome bolt sets from someone on ebay for my transmission cover and my timer covers.

Now i want to replace my ugly stock rocker cover bolts with these chrome bolts but I can't freaking remember who i bought the bolts from lolol

I remember i was pointed towards the vendor by someone here on the forum. hopefully someone will point me in the right direction again.

thanks guys.

you could always go that route.. or you could just get some chrome bolts from a hardware store, no? i mean, there's nothing special about the bolts.. 3 are longer than the other 3, and they have a washer on them..

thank you guys. the hot toppers would be my last resort, I would like to be able to still see the heads of the bolts instead of putting the covers on there

Doesn't the fuel tank need to be lifted to remove the (long) rocker box bolts? Seems like alot of work just for chrome bolts.

Hot Toppers are a good choice. Another alternative are the HD rocker box bolt covers.

lifted, but not removed.. just unbolt the front and rear bolts and it lifts up to give you enough clearance

like the Sgt. said, the gas tank doesn't need to be removed, just lifted. I already have it lifted since i took of the rocker boxes to get them powder coated black. I got them back from the powder coater and when i went to put them back on the bike tonight with the stock bolts I realized how crappy the stock bolts are lol.

I found the ebay vendor whom i purchased from previously, it's cyclebolts.

the guy has some really good prices and his hardware is nice.

thank you for the suggestions guys.
