Default that ugly battery cover trim!

wanted to do something about this thing since i 1st saw the bike...never liked it ,never will, just doesnt match the bike IMO..
seen a few different takes on changing it up here on the h.d.f
decided that it too should fall prey to my mad powder-coating skills....so i took the band off of the battery cover,[to prep for coating]
and had a lil idea....

lemme know what you think!
any and all opinions welcome and encouraged!!

Second set of pics are kinda fuzzy. Good idea though. Is it going on a Bob? Kinda goes with the rest of your decor, maltese cross, German WWII theme.

IMHO it would look cleaner without the spikes. But that's just my taste. Nice bike anyway.

That will keep you from slipping off of the bike! Just get a helmet with a spike on the top and then you are set. Seriously though, I think it works. The V shape of the spikes goes nice next to the V-twin. Good job.

Cant make my mind up mike, i took mine off today with the same thoughts as you, it looks like sh!!.
I was gonna spray mine wrinckle black, but after seeing yours, i might check what else is out there to put in the holes.
I have plenty off time, cause the weather over here is baltic, and wet, so i have a couple of months to decide.
