Being only new here I wasn't sure if these have been covered before in a previous thread so please forgive me if this is old news to everyone. Having just submitted the post I noticed that you can also see the small chrome cover that sits inside the shock mount bolts as well. Bling it on!

| | Posted : 13 Mar 2012 - 10:36 Post title : Re: Rear pulley nut covers (Re: TBRider) | | | TB, the chrome dresser covers are commonly called Toppers and I bought mine from a local motorcycle accessories shop which means he deals in Harleys for 99.99% of the time. However, the Toppers work for both imperial and metric sizes so the Bird was no problem. They come in 2 types like belly buttons in that they have innies and outies. Innies fit into the centre hex in allen type screw bolt heads while outies cover the out edges of a typical bolt head. I went to fit my bike out with what I thought may have been 10 - 12 of the things and ended up fitting 47 of them all up or rather, so far. But now they are fitted in place I was wondering how I ever lived without them.

Here's a site I found while looking for the same thing ........ haven't ordered from them so don't know what their turn around time is.
It's Harley-centric but have so many that they should be able to supply.

Hey Zolti,
I have put a few hundred kilometres on the bike at sustained highway speeds of 110 - 120kph with the Toppers in place on the rear pulley and so far so good. I gave them all a tweak to see how they were doing the other day and they all still felt firm with no discernible movement what so ever. The Toppers I used came in a set of 10 which was quite handy being there are 5 needed for the rear of the bike so there are enough for a second set if needed or you can split a set with a mate.
