Default Speaker Pod Selector Switches

Hello good people. I bought a tour pack with speaker pods , no speakers and no selector switches. I have an 2011 flhx and I am going to put speakers in , but I don't think I want or need for her to have the functionality of the switches. I have two thoughts. 1. I saw someone with chrome covers just blanking out the switches where could I get something like that. 2. buy two selector switches from harley and install them as dummies just to cover the holes.
If any of you nice people have any good suggestions I would much appreciate them.
Jim C.

if it were me, I'd bring them to an upholstery shop and get them recovered.

And I agree on the NO CONTROL from the rear aspect of it. Never failed with my wife man.. Was cruizin down the highway jammin out to some Stranglehold singing my azz off and the wife hit the damn track selector to change tracks.. Not cool and I told her it was unsafe to be doing that while I'm driving... She did it anyway so I changed the head unit out. No more rear controls and she hasn't a clue that the head unit came with a remote control. :-)

If you have a service manual you can disconnect the mode select wires from the passenger controls leaving only the rear speaker and PTT functions.
