Yes, mine is off centered by about the same amount. I'm going to have to grind a little off the left vertical piece to clearance it for my tail gate. It catches by a hair...just enough to scuff the paint on the tail gate.
If you POR-15 it you should probably strip the rattle can off and prep the bare metal with metal-ready, then 2 coat with POR-15 per instructions. That stuff works great as long as you do the prep work right. Otherwise, it'll peel off in sheets. i did my frame with it and it looks pretty good....but it does need a top coat if it's in direct sun light.
I noticed you had trouble painting the same areas I did on mine! those are a PITA to get covered well.
Looks good though. I'll have to get some pictures of mine for you to see.

When you do the POR15 you have to have a coating over the top of it, because it's UV sensitive, so it fades and will flake off over time.
i did POR15 on my truck's rear bumper last year. it was shiny for about a week, and got dull very fast.

Thanks for the pics, That is a sweet looking pan, My first HD was a 76 shovel that I built out of few budies garages when I was 16, litteraly duct tape, shoe goe, and wire were holding it together. Wish I had never sold it. My funest HD yet was a 91 classic. Retired cop bike, tranny was shot so I put a baker 6 speedin, some local motor cops saw me on it all the time took me under their wing and taught me to actually ride it. I loved it because I did not care if it went down in low speed playing.
Bumper looks great,
Well off to make some money.
