Deffo! Looks nasty! (The nipple, that is!)
Just bear in mind that if you do fill the hole, the powdercoat won't stick to that bit!

fill the hole
fill the hole and get a nice custom machined headbadge to stick over it, shouldnt cost to much .

Ive used a filler before from a company called "frost" its an aluminium filler that you heat with a blowtorch to fully harden it.
This stuff goes really hard.
Ive used it on tooling jigs when Ive had a whoopsie with my router at work rather than spend a fortune on a new jig.
The result is a really good and hard metal based filler that can be sanded or filed flat and is hardly noticeable.
Ill post the link when I can find it.
If its metal based shouldnt powdercoat stick to it?
this is the stuff

And isnt it called a "nubbin" rather than a 3rd nipple??
....remembering jo whiley on radio1 talking about hers.....

Nice Beast! When I was in college I stripped and buffed my first M800 to a nice matte polished finish and then gave it some black decals. Looked very good! You're already almost done with the paint...just dump the rest and buff her up!

stripping paint is cake when you're drunk...just don't drink out of the wrong pot!
