Rocker Plate Relocation
I relocated my plate with a Heartland Swingarm Mount. My question is if any other Rocker guys have done this and removed the stock mount. Right now I have the bracket off, but the light and chrome housing are still there. I am wondering how big the hole underneath it might be? Will the fender be discolored? Has anyone come up with a solution besides changing out the fender?
Thanks!

I used a chromed Harley Davidson emblem meant for a Ford HD version.
I got it off ebay and the guy sold them at the time flat or pre-curved.
The curve was more for mounting it on a oil tank, so I had to remove some of the curve to follow the lines of the fender. It covered the holes left except for the top one. I used a button hole plug from Ace Hardware to fill it.
The emblem is mounted with 3M tape and it still holding no problem years later.
Others have used aluminum HD emblem which are a lot easier to bend to lay flat on the fender.

The shop I took it to charged me $450 to cut it and paint it. I just unbolted the fender and took it to them (lights removed) and showed them where I wanted it cut. It throws a bigger rooster tail in water but i am happy with it.
