I would have similar concerns. Just what is the best way to go about changing out all the bolts?

Change them one at a time, and use a torque wrench.

Have you done it this way and did you have any problems?

Hot Toppers for me. Had em on my last bike and they held up perfectly year after year. I change bolts on things like foot pegs and stuff, but engine primary and tranny get toppers except derby cover which gets a chrome kit.

I have a few of them on my bike. I have never had any problems with any or lost any of them. A small detail that makes a difference.
