Maybe it's enough to remove one or both rockers & leave the central patch. Maybe after things have cooled off, the Rebels will say it's not that important after all.
Do you know any Ulysses members in NZ? There are a few in my Vulcan group...

There are many NZ Ulysses members but non that I actually know of Vulcanrider. Mind you I am only a junior member as full membership starts at 50
You’re guessing may be right because the word is that newer members of the Rebels MC carried out the attacks. And it seems that tensions within their ranks have forced a show of unity by all the Rebels and there leader. A couple of our Ulysses bike group were hauled into the Rebels MC to have things clearly explained to them!
Quote from our website
...Expectations of a quiet face to face meeting with Alex and a few others was quickly dispelled as we walked into a hall full of Rebels all seated awaiting our arrival.
Three seats were already allocated for us facing Alex who was seated with six of his lieutenants, three either side, with the remaining 40 – 50 members behind us. Vic Lesslie and I have been to many meetings in our life for a multitude of reasons and this is the one we will both never ever forget.
Alex Vella was and still is the supreme commander of the Rebels nationally and what he states regarding any Rebel issue is final word.
We have been told that the actions and directions taken in Canberra by our National President Rick Bedford regarding Ulysses members not to wear rockers is commendable and from Alex Vella’s viewpoint the right decision..... Another statement made that was also taken note of was a scenario that if three Ulysses Club members were pulled over on the road because one was wearing rockers then all three will be dealt with in the same manner.
All members should be aware of this when riding with any other member foolhardy enough to ride with rockers on their back.
They respect the Old Man Patch on the back of ours jackets and vests but expect to see nothing else, especially top or bottom rockers, or anything resembling Outlaw colours. They are not concerned with what we wear on the front of our gear.
