They cut you off for engine parts

Very good product. They don't give enough to finish the job. My Twin Cam Harley uses 12 rocker arm bolts. They only ship 8. There are other shorts.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • The list will be long.

They are plastic best for valves and parts

This is plastic and I think if I had read better I would have seen it, they stick with silicone sealant and it doesn't hold up well. They look cool for a while, and then they start falling off.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • No instructions

Only half could be used!

I've only used 3/16" caps (around the chrome primary, transmission, timing cover and pushrods) and 7/16" caps (rocker caps). Otherwise the set is too expensive. They look good but I was disappointed that I paid so much for caps I couldn't use.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Zero

Don't waste your money

It was clear from the start that these caps needed a little help to stay in place. Therefore, if you do not want to glue them, they will not remain. The top rocker arm caps melted from the heat and everything on the primary fell off during the ride (I kind of knew it was going to happen, and it did). Don't waste your money.

Pros
  • Big selection
Cons
  • Some problems

Don't lose your hats!

These are snap on plastic caps that come with a very small tube of silicone glue for the rocker arm bolts. In my opinion it is overpriced for what you get. They look fine once installed, especially on a blacked out engine, but after a ride you'll find that some of them have fallen off. I recommend buying a tube of black silicone glue, using it on each cap and allowing plenty of time to cure before riding the bike. My 2 star rating is actually closer to 1-1/2 stars.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Not sure

Unexpected quality

was for a specific version of the HD engine - the instructions for the kit said that to fasten the bolts on that engine you need to find the X number of that engine size, the Y number of the next size, etc., then just below it is how much of each size was included AND the number of each was LESS than the number required. and the actual inventory matched what was listed in the instructions NOT what was needed. So I ended up finding the least conspicuous examples of each size and not covering…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I vaguely remember that the kit
