2. Safety Information

This product is an aftermarket custom item and is not an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part. While designed for compatibility with specified models, modifications may be required for proper fitment. Professional installation is recommended. Verify compatibility before purchase to ensure safe and correct application.

3. Installation

Installation of the HTTMT Bolt Topper Caps is straightforward but requires careful attention to ensure proper fit and longevity. No detailed installation guide is included with the product, but the general procedure involves securing the caps over existing bolts.

3.1 Preparation

Ensure the surfaces of the bolts are clean and free from dirt, grease, or debris. This will promote better adhesion of the caps.

3.2 Application

Apply a few drops of silicone adhesive (not included) to the inner stem of each bolt topper cap before placing it onto the corresponding bolt. The silicone acts as an adhesive and can also provide a protective barrier against heat for caps installed on engine components.

3.3 Placement

Gently press the cap onto the bolt. For smaller caps, apply even pressure. Some users have found success by using a small, soft-faced hammer with a protective cloth or tape to gently tap the caps into place, ensuring not to crack them.

3.4 Curing

Allow adequate time for the silicone adhesive to cure as per the adhesive manufacturer's instructions before operating the motorcycle.

4. Maintenance

To maintain the chrome finish and appearance of your bolt topper caps, regularly clean them with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the chrome plating. Periodically inspect the caps for any signs of loosening or damage and re-secure or replace as necessary.

5. Troubleshooting

• Caps not fitting or cracking during installation: Ensure you are using the correct size cap for each bolt. Applying even pressure and using a small amount of silicone can aid in fitment and prevent cracking. For smaller caps, a gentle tapping method with a protected tool may be necessary. If caps are cracking, consider applying silicone to the inside to act as a cushion and insulator.
• Caps loosening or falling off: Ensure sufficient silicone adhesive was used during installation and allowed to cure completely. Reapply silicone if necessary.
• Discoloration or melting due to heat: While the caps are made of ABS plastic, prolonged exposure to extreme engine heat can affect them. Applying silicone adhesive to the inside of caps on high-heat areas can provide an insulating layer. Consider using high-temperature silicone for these specific locations.
