Maybe this will help also...

not sure, but it says you can shape them to fit tank. So I don't exactly know if that means that they can be striaght also. I see your delima though, but I bet you find something cool that will work. Maybe some more lo owners will chime in and help you with ideas? I know if I can't find something I ask sgtjim, he can find anything. However it turns out, those bags definatley work with the lo, nice job!

Why not just get some Fatboy tank emblems. You can flatten them out no problem.

the only thing I am worried about and I will have to measure it but it looks like the FB tank emblem might not be symetrical due to moco wanting it to look right on a curve.

It's really such a slight curve that I don't see it making any difference. You could always have an emblem made from leather and attach it. BTW I love the look of the Roadking bags on your bike.. Great job.

what I was thinking about doing was making my own plate, painting it black, and getting those chrome or metal letters and making a "fatboy" or "fatbagger" emblem of my own. attach studs to the back and it will be just like the badge that I took off.
