I like the chrome ones better. Those nuts remind me of the frankenstein monster.

A nice set of polished stainless steel nuts for 4 and 6 cyl. bikes (ebay.com/itm/114286618817 and ebay.com/itm/115429409094)

Do you know why the aftermarket nuts are taller or don't have a top on them?

Because you need the extra height when decking the barrel or cylinder head, a short stock nut will bottom out on the stud.

Hey dumb question: you guys using oversized head studs on 900/1000s, how do you seal the outside four nuts so they don’t piss oil? These are the open top nuts, not the closed ones. 
 
What did you end up doing to solve the issue?
