Default Different strut covers?

I have a '12 fat bob and i put a different tail light in to delete the turn signals. I have seen the cycle vision block off plates but i dont really like them. Does anyone know where i can find some good looking billet ones or maybe some aftermarket strut covers that dont have the built in recess for the stock blinkers that would work on the bob? Thanks in advance..

Not aware of any other strut covers that are a direct replacement for the Fatbob that do not have the signal opening. I have the Cycle vision ones that I painted black to go with my black strut covers. They are noticeable, don't draw much attention in my opinion.

I've seen pics of Dynas with the strut cover removed. The naked strut looked good.

Thanks! Everything is integrated into the Cycle Vision Eliminator license plate framing. LED tail light is across the top and the signals are on the sides.
