Default Replacement Strut Covers ?

Hello all I am looking for replacement strut covers for my 07 street bob
I relocated the signal lights and Not happy with the holes it left in the strut -I may be able to get chrome covers but the struts are brushed
So I would love to find new ones without the signal lights cut outs and Paintable Or Powder coat to match the fender would be great

Thanks

or...take the strut covers off and fill the hole with a chrome bolt or whatever else you can think of...

a chrome bolt or cover still would not look right since the strut covers are brushed on the SB

You could get a stainless cariage bolt and smooth the markings off of the head. Once you get it smooth you can give it a brushed look. There are some good how to's on the internet for doing brushed surfaces.

I forgot to mention my opinion on the HD covers. They are UGLY. They do the trick but the future holds something different than what I have now.
