RE: Pro/Con to have Caps or Hardwares
Love my HOT Toppers, should have done it long ago.
Downside... some are RTV'd on and would be messy to R&R them, adding labor cost if you don't do your own work ( I do 99% of my own wrenching.)
I do lots of Stainless on my Jap rice rocket, just remember SS is not as strong as a conventional say cad or zinc plated bolt, so beware in structural applications that you are not replacing say a Grade 8 fastener with a weaker SS replacement.
