    Default Looking for Caps to cover 4 bolts on handlebar

    Does any one know to cover the four bolts holding down the handle bars? I'm looking for chrome or black caps to cover them.

    Go to your local ACE Hardware store, look in the nut&bolt section drawers for them.

    I've had these on all my rides since I discovered them . Ace hardware I think. I think the look of the hex bolts on the bars is ugly without them. They are all over my poor ,old,slow V-Max too.

    Thanks for the lead on the bolt covers. On my 2020 it looks like lock-tite was splashed all over the bolts. It will be nice to cover them up.

    I use LamonsterGarage IPS nut caps. The set is 6 and I have yet to figure out what to do with the extras.

    I found 3/4 inch covers in Lowes. They fit loosely so I put a little clear caulking to keep them in place. If I fined 16 MM covers (size of blot head) I'll replace them. The ACE HW I went to didn't even have any bolt protector covers
