Default 2014 ultra limited -CB rubber connector

Hello,

I would like to replace the rubber CB connector with some kind of chrome flip cap like the attached picture. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestion?

Yes the rubber headset connector I think it's ugly and it fades.

Just use black leather shoe dye or Pig Spit on it keep it alive but haven't seen any other option since last 15 years and they do get really ugly after 5 years.

Maybe a suggestion to Harley?

Add this Cover/Terminal to the "Routine Maintenance" Chart . . . Replace every 5 Years or 50,000 Miles, whichever comes first!
