Default Dyna Forward Controls

This is my first time on hear posting a question, but need some advice. I'm installing forward controls on my Dyna Low Rider, (FXDL) and the harley dealer is telling me they don't offer the inner primary plug that covers the hole left by the shifter shaft after you cut it out. Any ideas where I can get one or what other options I have? Thank you for your help!

if you are cutting it out, you do not need a plug. do not pull off the outer cover, it is already sealed. just pop in plug on front.

I bought my forward controls from HD and they came with a black cap and a chrome cap so I put one on each side.

Are they just plastic caps and if so, the primary doesn't get to hot and affect it?

The kit came with a chrome cover, least wise most do. If not you can get it online.
I personally prefer to keep the shaft just in case I decide to sale or trade.
Lot of folks are doing things differently. do a search on the advanced search feature.
