Default Cover for Rear Seat Screw Hole

I've got my solo seat on my 95 Fat Boy and need a chrome cap or something to go in the hole where you screw down the rear seat. The paint has chipped away slightly around the hole in the fender, so it needs to be decent size.

Suggestions on what and where to buy?

Would a fender bib cover it?

My Fat Boy Lo came with a plastic-chrome screw thing to plug the hole in the fender when the pillion is off. I think its a little bigger than the metal screw. It was screwed in the bottom of the pillion. Might be able to get one of them at a dealer for cheap. It's plastic and looks like its made of the same material that the bumpers were made of on the model cars I built as a kid.

Yep I would think most riders would enjoy a little head on their bike!

Not exactly an answer to your question, but I got a motherwell solo rack in black for my lo and together with a black laydown plate, it looks really nice. The racks also come in chrome of course:

I have the bib and the rack (which requires a longer screw ) ...so usually just the bib or the bib and rack, but not just the rack since the Deluxe has two more holes that the bib covers and it looks silly with the "buttons" covering them up.

+1 Don't really care for the looks of the bibs so I bought the mini bib from Mustang. But it looks worse with the chrome plugs for the three holes so I went ahead and put the full bib on. It kind of grows on you - looks okay to me now.

that bib looks pretty sweet. I prefer a clean fender with a cover of some kind for the hole.
