almost lost battery side cover

Whew, A nice ride Saturday spoiled a little by a unfortunate incident. Riding along about 20 miles into a 211 mile ride when I heard a noise. I thought, "wonder what that was"? 1/4 mile or so it hit me, well not literally, but for some reason I thought Oh crap, the side cover. I had it off the day before disconnecting the battery while installing a new fuel pump. I pulled over and sure enough that sucker was gone. Heart sank. Sick feeling in the pit of my rather sizable gut. Turned around and looked for it hoping to catch a break. Found it 1/3 mile or so back up the rode laying in the fastlane. I fastwalked across the medium to retrieve it. Thankfully! raying: It's scuffed up pretty good, one ear {terminology?} broken but not broken off, a crack in the front side and the Goldwing emblem gone. Hey I'm declaring the glass half full. JB Weld and I'm hoping to salvage it since I can't take out a second mortage to buy one from ebay.

Ya'll can help me with 2 things: 1 - where might I find and Goldwing emblem to replace the missing one, and 2 - Ideas for tethering them to the bike. I've seen the kits on CycleMax but prefer some DIY that would be cheaper. Yeah I'm cheap! - Sirkitrider
