Default Different Color Plastic Barrel Key Covers?

I've got a Tour Pak that's keyed differently than the bike and the Saddlebags so I have to carry two keys.

The key code on the Tour Pak cannot be changed.

Does anyone sell the plastic Key covers in any other color except Black so I don't have to use the "trial and error" method to figure out which key fits what?

I haven't had any luck finding them.

I have a similar problem. My lock on my solo bag, rotor lock and master cuff bike lock keys look almost the same.
I was thinking of either putting a dab of paint or using the rubber tool dip you can get at a hardware store to be able to tell at a glance which is which.

This is too easy. Your dealer can supply the proper lock, keyed to your bike.

Scratch a "T" into the plastic of the tour pack key?

Paint one of the black covers maybe...

Don't lock the Tour Pack and leave the key at home.

Thanks everyone, I thought about taking the cover off or hitting it with a dab of paint, but I was just hoping someone made the covers.

I also thought about buying a Harley "Skull" key that was keyed to the bike, but at $59.00 each (I think) , that's not gonna happen. Would definitely look different though.

Lo-Rider, the Barrel Lock on the Tour Pak (leather) cannot be changed ( I already checked).

I replaced the lock setup (keyed to my existing key) on my "new to me" tourpak and it cost a whopping $21.32
#53194-07 TourPak lock kit

Edit...nevermind you posted that you have the leather tourpak while I was looking up my recent purchase
