Default football mod same ol trick with a twist

So after being bullied by you guys about my football haha I went and did the mod trick where you cut out the center. Yes I know I already posted this on my slightly moded heritage post however I was going to get a new trim ring and paint it black to match the bike but got to thinking thats a lot of work haha. Looked everywhere for a rubber grommet or something of the same idea to cover the outer edge. Well heres a cheap solution. My buddy owns a hydraulic shop and found a cylinder seal the works perfect. Just enough to make it look clean and factory without all the bling factor. Just an idea for those who do this mod and want a clean edge. I have a lathe and made the edge perfect but without primer and paint it would have rusted. Little primer and I was able to hide it with the seal.
