So, I bought the Vagabond Sports brake reservoir relocation kit, and removed the rear pillion pegs.
I love the even more naked look, but I now have two open bolt holes on either side of the bike (it looks just like the pictures in the ebay link above).
I'd like to fill in the holes with some silver or blue anodized aluminum bolts with hex heads.  Anyone got any ideas where I might get some (and the size needed)?
 
 

Why can't left turners see us?

I just put the stock ones back....

O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me.
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause...till it come back to me.

Actually, after thinking about it, the bolts sticking out a bit might not be bad. A place to hook bungee cords for strapping things to the bike?
 
[edit]  No, they look too far forward to do any good.

I just picked up some blue anodized bolts and washers from Pro-Bolt.
I think they will look pretty cool, but we'll see.

they might be a good place for a lift point.  carry a piece of dockline in your tank bag and if you ever need to service the rear wheel while on the road, you can toss the line over a good strong tree limb and use a truckers hitch to hold the bike up. having a friend in these scenarios helps. 
it sounds a little whacky but i have some rear lift-points on my sportster and they've come in handy twice while traveling.
 
i'm going to pull my passenger pegs off this weekend, and hopefully find some d-rings that can be mounted in those frame-holes.

holy crap 64 bucks for two small pieces of aluminum, there is less than 4 bucks in total cost.

Sorry. He was just asking for suggestions and I gave him one. I didn't even say he needed to buy it. He could use it as a reference for a design he makes. Don't jump on a person for trying to give suggestions for something someone asks about please. If you think it's too expensive, just say so. No need to make me feel like an idiot for posting that.
 
You got me wrong, I wasn't jumping on you at all, I was just amazed that evotech thinks that highly of themselves.

Ryan, 
Those are actually more fairly priced than some of their competitors.  The R&G plates are about 90 bucks.
 
Its...ridiculous...

Sounds like an opportunity for someone skilled with these sorts of things....

I think I'll look into doing something, maybe even a helmet lock for the left side.

Based on your work I've already got installed on my bike, I'm interested at seeing what you come up with.

I would immediately buy a helmet lock from you ryan. Idk if you could make it work with leaving the pegs on though as I ride with a passenger.
