Default Replacing Primary Cover (need to cover mid shaft hole)

On my 2008 Fat Bob I have a chrome primary cover with forward controls and there is no "hole" in the primary cover.

I have a nice wrinkle black primary cover setup for kids that I want to use instead. I've seen the MoCo sell chrome caps to cover the mid shaft, but I won't have one going through it.

So what should I use the cover that hole so it won't leak oil?

I'd suggest trading somebody that want to convert to mids.

I should add that I bought this to convert to mids originally. I'm on the fence about it, and still may convert at some point but I definitely.

The plug for that hole doesn't seal to prevent leaks. There is a gasket called a tower gasket that seals between the front and rear cover halves.
The plug is decorative.

There is a chrome cap that came in my forward control kit. I'm sure HD can sell you one. Having said that, I just recently converted back to mids and I'm pretty happy with them. I had forwards on my previous bike, and when I bought my dyna new in 2006, I ditched the mids as soon as I could, I didn't even give them a chance. now I also have a StreetGlide, so the dyna can return to more of a 'fun' bike.
