Default how did you hide your license plate holes in rear fender?

I'm about to relocate my license plate to side mount and want to take the frame off the rear fender when complete... I see there are 3 screws holding it in place and was wondering if and what you guys havve done to cover/hide the left over holes in the fender?

I want to go to a Nightster fender eventually but, for now don't have the $$ to get my new fender painted. So in the mean time I'm sure you guys have come up with some creative solutions and I'd like to see and hear them. Post up pics if you have them.

Thanks,
Jason

You can get some plugs in either black or chrome from harley, Thats what I have seen most folks do.

I have to either grow the ***** to rattle can the whole bike flat/satin black myself... Or save up a little more dough to pay to get the chopped fender I already have painted vivid black.

I wet sanded and buffed and waxed the bejesus out of all the tins on it and now I'm likeing the vivid black. I got it looking pretty good.

I got one of these. It works perfect and it looks awesome. I'd have to get home to post a pic of it on the bike.

Looks good man, so are those plugs similar to the one I used to go where the screw for my 2up seat went?

Thanks,
Jason

No, those 2 plugs came from my home speaker base, they sat in my drawer for years.
