Sooooo my shop had a Big Dog tree laying around that they threw me for cheap. It fit perfect and had the same rake. Now I'm regretting it. Thought about covering it with a tool bag but didn't find anything I like. Wishing I would have just paid the $300 extra to get one that didn't say BIG DOG.
Any suggestions here? Any way to get rid of it or fill it in? Can I grind it? What disc would I use? Would it look like DOG crap?

You can grind it off and re-polish the aluminum and make it smooth. Take your time, go slowly only removing what you need to then start the smoothing process. I've removed brake perches from lower legs and you can't tell they were there. If it's clear epoxy coated, you'll need to remove the coating before you start. Aircraft stripper works best but be sure to protect everything else around it.
just ride it and forget about it....the pebble seems like a boulder to the foot....you just think its a big deals because it's yours....most won't even notice, and if they do, it doesn't look bad

No matter how skilled you are...grinding that down would look like chit...if you are going that route, pull it off, and mill it down... then polish
