Battery Box Emblems
I know there's one or two other Street Bob owners that have removed the battery box inset and replace it with an emblem. I removed mine recently and I want to replace it with an early model pan head tank badge, but I don't want to duplicate what's already been done. If you have done this on your Bob, could you post some pics or let me know what you've put on your battery box.
Thanks

I know somebody has done the HD skull with wings medallion. I wanted to try a gas cap medallion and bought one but didn't like how it was gonna look. For now, mine is just naked with polished stainless buttonhead bolts in the holes.

Not to split hairs but it's clearcoated aluminum, not plastic.

I thought that was you but wasn't sure. I like it, looks really good. Like it was made for it.
