Default What would you do?
I installed Harley hard bags on my Heritage, the turn signals hit the new bags so I bought a Kuryakyn Bullet Light Turn Signal which I really like, it has a LED light over a new license plate location which brings me to my question, After putting the plate under the light it leaves the old mount up on the fender needing to be removed but that will leave three open holes in the fender?
What would you do? put some decorative chrome bolts in the holes or is there some better idea anyone has?

I have seen some light bolts maybe that in the holes?

You could weld them up re-paint (best look in my opinion also most $$$ tho) or, you could say get a harley emblem (all sorts on ebay).

Fancy chrome bolts because I'm as cheap as can be.

don't forget to replace the tail lens with a full red one.

Nah, I wouldn't go the cheap route on a bike that nice. Personally I'd close up the holes and keep the clean look. That's just me though.

I recommend plastic plugs too. More specifically, automotive trim clips that you can buy at an auto parts store. If you sand them and paint them gloss black, they'll really blend in...can't see mine from more than 5 feet away.
