Looks good!
uh, there are these doo dads called "hole plugs" or "mistake fixers" or something like that. basically they are little plastic, round, smooth little guys that you just kinda pop into there. You could paint them yellow. I think you can find them at Home depot, or maybe ace.
Soemone suggested a new LP bracket. I've made three, one for my V* classic, savage, and my friend's v* custom. Very easy to do... the instuctions belwo are for a side mount setup.
DIY Sidemount LP instructions:
Go to Ace hardware and get a right angle bracket for a bookcase or shelf. Make sure it's kinda strong. You can get 2 in a pack for $4. Go to your local metal shop and by a LP sized piece of 1/14" diamond plate (aka tread palte) or smooth polished aluminum. Yank out the lower bolt on the shocks. Size it and drill one hole through the right angle bracket kinda near the bend (3/4" or so). Shave off most of the extra part on the far side of the hole; an angle grinder with a cutting wheel works well. Now take your LP, drill some holes in it to match the remaining holes on the right angle bracket (if you bought a different bracket than I did, you may have to add some holes to the bracket). Stick the bracket between the LP and the diamond plate and attach with chrome acorn nut that you also bought at Ace. Tighten the bolt to 17 ft-lbs. Ride.
Note: there is NO electricity here, so you have no LP light. Somecops will pull you over for this. Also, the LP can be horizontally or vertically mounted.
For the V* custom, which has a similar fender to the savage, I didn't use bracket, just a piece of aluminum that was shapped like the top half of an "H," with the middle real fat/tall, about the size of the LP, and two holes to bolt it to the back side of the tail light, however it is attached to the fender. I then put a little bend in it to make it stick up a little.
