Default looking for a Master Cylinder Gasket without level indicator

Does anyone know of a vendor that offers a front master cylinder gasket that does not have the opening for the level sight window ?
I have a 2012 FXDC with an aftermarket cover that doesn't have a sight window and I would like to have a gasket that eliminates the sight window hole as a potential leak.

Not a great idea. You'd block off the cap vent.

I replaced my cap with a chrome one from Drag Specialties that doesn't have a sight glass. The whole thing was about $20. Maybe you can buy the gasket from them.

Did the cover come with a gasket ?

Even though It says up to "2009", I don't think there's a problem, especially when you start cross referencing the cover years. YMMV

Nice find. The bellows take care of the vent function.

I have several of those. They are enough different as not to fit.

I find that interesting on a couple fronts...

First, if you believe that Drag Spec is correct up til at least 2009... and then HD part# list 2009 and 2012 FXDC using the same cover/gasket (but with sight glass), you would think they should fit (of course, not always the case)

Second, that you wouldn't mention anything about "having several" of those gaskets that are close, but No-Go until now

What's different?...how bout a pic

They are stashed away but I bought 2 on eBay 2 summers ago because the ad started they would fit. If I recall they were too short.
Despite your implications that my possession of gaskets is nefarious; I didn't not realize I needed to reveal my spare parts stash in the original post.
