Default Battery cover on Street Bob

I've noticed that some of you with Street Bobs have taken the grey plastic off of your battery cover. I like the look, but cannot tell from the pictures what you have done to fill in the holes left behind from the plastic.

I left the black plastic thing on it, just for now. The silver cover is easy to remove.

Cheapest option to fill them would be chrome plugs in the nut & bolt drawers at Lowe's. Or get one of the chrome battery bands from HD like I got. They make a few. Or tell people there are "speed holes" works for just about anything.

A can of flat black spray paint will do wonders for the band.

Plugs are probably better. My bike sits outside in the rain a lot and the allen heads will rust a little bit requiring some cleaning.

Good Luck

I haven't really looked inside the battery box to see where it sits, but I'd be afraid to put a bolt thru the holes in fear that the vibrations would rub a hole in the battery casing.
