i put clipons on, now i got those 4 ugly holes where the old bars use to mount. Grinding all that down is not an option....what are people using to cover that up with?

first one is a GPS? Second one looks great, but my hole pattern is like the first one.  Man keep the ideas coming!  I am one of those wierdos that straightens pictures on the wall, all i do is look down at those 4 holes and dream of stuff to cover it up with.  I went down to home depot and another hardware store and looked for some sort of caps to put over them, nothing looked good. Then i thought of putting a metal plate across it, cutting a cool pattern into the plate, but i dont really have a way to cut metal precisely enough to make it look good. Is there a business that would cut or lazer cut a pattern into a piece of metal for you? i tried to look it up locally here in portland but came up with nothing.

Should be able to get the black plastic caps/plugs that are basically flat and smooth, can get them at auto parts store, just a dab of silicone in the hole and works fine been using for years when I've take off mirrors, changed the pipe mounting, etc.

If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Let the holes fill with dirt.


Paint over it.

Fill with Bondo, Then Paint over it, like on Spidey's Bike.
