Default Forty-Eight Battery cover

Needless to say I hit the pothole from hell yesterday, Almost laid the bike down, Pulled my handlebars back and lost my left side battery cover somewhere on 295 (Sh*thole highway that goes from Baltimore --> DC) on top of probably blowing my fork seals to the moon...anyways after getting my ***** out of my stomach, I swung by Harley to see about buying a new one, $115 out the door painted. Parts guy there (Chris from old glory! Super cool helpful dude) said i could find one online cheaper most likely Ive found some cheaper ones but -
A. They're over seas, will take WEEKS to get. B. Reviews say the gloss paint jobs are doo-doo.

Ive tried to search some threads but only found solutions for keeping it on better, Anyone have a reccomendations as to where to buy one? or should i just go through Harley.
Thanks!

I would try eBay or local salvage yards.

Can only find 04-13 ones on ebay. Apparently the 14 and up ones are different.
