Why Use ARP Bolts on Your Harley?

ARP fasteners are widely used in high-performance automotive and motorcycle applications due to their strength, precision manufacturing, and consistency. For Harley riders—especially those with Milwaukee-Eight (M8), Touring, Dyna, or Softail models—upgrading to ARP bolts provides improved clamping force, better corrosion resistance, and a noticeably cleaner finish than OEM hardware.

What Is a Black Oxide Finish?

Black oxide is a conversion coating applied to steel fasteners to improve corrosion resistance, reduce glare, and enhance appearance without altering bolt dimensions. Unlike paint or plating, black oxide adds virtually no thickness, ensuring accurate torque readings and proper fitment on Harley engine, chassis, and accessory components.

Why Are My Black Oxide ARP Bolts Oily?

That light oil coating is intentional. After the black oxide process, bolts are impregnated with oil to:

• Enhance corrosion resistance

• Prevent rust during storage and use

• Maintain a deep, uniform black appearance

If your bolts arrive slightly oily, that means they’re protected and ready for installation.

Will Black Oxide ARP Bolts Rust?

Black oxide improves corrosion resistance, but like all steel fasteners, rust can occur depending on:

• Environmental exposure (humidity, rain, road grime)

• Heat cycles common on Harley engines

• Surface damage or lack of maintenance

In high-heat areas, the protective oil may darken or turn brown, which can resemble rust but is often just heat-affected oil residue.

Maintenance & Care

To keep your Harley ARP bolts looking new:

• Lightly oil hardware after washing your bike

• Wipe bolts with a rag sprayed with WD-40 or Silikroil

• Perform regular maintenance, especially in wet or humid climates

A quick wipe takes minutes and significantly extends the life and appearance of your hardware.
