Default Need suggestions for hiding the antenna mounting studs on tour pack??

OK well I have installed a hidden inside the fairing antenna on my 08 Ultra and now I have these two shiney threaded mounting studs sticking out like a sore thumb on my black tour pack.

What have you guys done to hide those studs? Any pics or suggestions are appreciated.

I did a search but didn't come up with much on this topic mostly just stuff about the antennas brands/etc.

Depends on your energy level. You can simply put a chrome acorn nut on them. You can simply put a black rubber bolt cap on them. Or, you can disassemble the light bar and remove the studs and fill the holes with flat black hole plugs and you would never know that you ever had antennas on there.

Could you please explain the flat black hole plugs? That's not part of any kit is it? Exactly what did you use?

You can get the hole plugs at Home Depot, Lowes, ACE, etc. Look like pictured below.

You can get the Vacuum covers in different colors. But Black will just blend in with the Light Bar. And you can get them at any Auto Part store. If when out and some idiot steals the vacuum plug. You can keep extras in the Tour Pak. No big deal or expense.
