stewart..harley sells the lil plastic plugs to fill holes just like this...real cheap[and effective] way to fill the holes!
i already have a bunch of spikes on my bike [front axle,headbolts, kuryakyn maltese mirrors] so it was a "no-brainer" for me
also test fitted one of my removed tank emblems [bent it around to follow the contour of the batt. cover] and it looks hot!
also thought of using the "skull w/ wings" emblem from a backrest/sissy bar...just didnt wanna fall in line w/ all the "skull collections" guys

hope this helps! good luck,

mike

I never liked that trim either. I went with this...



There's also one like that that has "Super Glide" written on it.
