didn't mean to **** in your cheerios man.
for the same investment, you could have rattle canned that strip wrinkle to match the box or gloss to match the bike's paint.
i've always thought without the band, it just looks unfinished.

The fastener pattern looks like its meant to hold a placard or data plate. Maybe a custom engraved placard would look cool there.

I always thought that it was kinda stupid that HD didn't put the chrome band on the other side?

X2 looks funny with the band chromed on one side and no band on the otherside. that was the exact reason why I painted over mine.

Painted mine satin black, I think it looks better than having nothing there but what matters on yours is what YOU like not what we like

i've always hated the battery band too. found a good deal on a whole new cover and just got rid of it completely.
