I used a curved chrome HD emblem for a Ford truck to hide the holes on the fender. Plus a 1/2" button hole plug from Ace hardware for the upper hole.

Wich year truck? That looks like a pretty close match to the tank badges.

Alrighty here is my rocker c ignition coil cover mod. I used my kuryakyn zombie horn cover for this mod so I am guessing any large horn cover will work. First I removed the ignition switch from the coil and re-installed the coil pack. I modified the supplied horn bracket. I used 1/16" steel stock to make a second bracket for the ignition switch. I used the front and middle motor mount bolts to mount the brackets. I can supply greater details or step by step if anyone wants. Other than the horn cover which I already had I didn't spend a dime on this mod. I have roughly 2- 3hours in this modification and that is mainly because I had to keep re-tweeking the brackets for an exact fit. All in all it came out excellent and i am elated. I will have some better pictures when the weather gets nice and I get the spike axle nut covers and flush mount license plate on.this picture will give you the idea though.

Awesome looking Rocker. Especially love the wheels and the way the bars look. Only thing I am not crazy about is the air cleaner, especially sticking up like a spike. All in all, good job!

Sorry I got it on ebay and don't know the year it was for.
The guy was selling them flat or curved with the mounting bolts removed.
I still had to put it in a vice to remove some of the curve he'd added.
He had it curved for a horseshoe oil tank mount.
I used the 3M tape he supplied with it.

Since i got my seat back from danny gray i got to ride for a while today. Just a couple more pictures. As you can tell I decided to have a little red gator put in the seat. Since the last pictures I installed the kuryakyn flush mount plate frame, removed the lower belt guard, and installed spike front axle covers. You can also see the coil cover mod a little better. Guts the pictures won't attach so you'll have to go to my pictures to see it
