1- oil filter cover
2-engine bolts
3-banjos
the list is endless no doubt,or perhaps personal taste overrides what others think?
i think the filter cover is a popular one -so im probably in the minority there,but surely there is a limit.
whats generally accepted?

I'm with you brother... IMHO if it wasn't chrome or shiny from the factory, leave it alone. With one exception, stainless steel bolts.

Tension nut- the 6mm thick nut "thingy" (great mechanical term that)under the top triple clamp on top of bearing stack. I think that describes it!!
