Default Nice chrome cover for rear fender bolts

I have a 2012 RG Custom..I bought a nice solo seat for it and then realized the rear fender bolts and plastic washers are a total eye sore. Then I purchased a mini bib form Mustang Seats that Ireally love, it covers the fender bolt plastic washers nicely. I am now looking for a very nice chrome cap to thread onto the bolts. I want it large enough t make the chrome seat bracket look good..but the bolts are I believe 1/4-20c coarse. Anyone purchased a nice chrome cap for these but big enough to look manly

All advice appreciated....Doc

I got a chrome snap-on cap (plastic) that fits on the head of the screw at a HD dealership. It's not the best answer, but it's better than an ugly screw head sitting there. Should be available at any dealer. I'll be interested to see what others have found.
