Make Handlebar Bolts Black to match?

[Hawk]

Anyone know an easy method of making the bolts that hold the handlebars black to match the newer bars that are "black"? I thought about a sharpie, but that's not gonna last long, lol.

Don't they have permanent waterproof markers? :dontknow:
It would seem easy-enough to touch things up as needed...
(Just a thought... )

not really

Really? Mine are not. I had the tilting GPS harness installed, but that would have been only 2. All 4 of mine are silver.

I also don't have the tender connector in the frunk either.

This seems like an inexpensive way to solve the issue. :thumbup:

I will look for the waterproof ones. I was thinking there had to be something I could use. I didn't want to remove them or paint them. Not a big deal.

Regular Sharpie says water resistant. Guess I can just use it and then reapply as needed. Cheap and easy.

A bit of black paint and a small brush? Room for maybe some small black plastic caps?

Probably would not be too big of an issue, but if you get paint on too thick, if you had an issue and needed to remove them, it could make it difficult to insert the hex wrench. You could always chip it out of it though.

Have them Blued

You could take them out and have them blued like they do for gun barrels. The black oxide in the bluing is permanent and helps to resist rust & corrosion. The big plus is that it won't interfere with your allen wrenches getting into the socket heads.

The bolts are stainless. Perhaps some caps would be a better dress up if you think its needed.

Caps would work too. Just would have to find some that fit.

If you would have read the fine print on my original answer you would have seen that i was joking, mine are stainless also.

Plastidip?

I don't see why not. That's what I used on my lug nuts on my 622 Trailer wheels. Looks good too by the way and hasn't scratched. However, I haven't had the need to take the wheels off.
