Default Flush mount gas caps

I have the stock fuel gauge and gas cap on my 2001 Fatboy. I would like to remove the gas gauge and just run a flush mount cap (not to use of course) and a matching gas cap for right side. Does anyone make this setup?

I looked for this because I have the Combo Speedo with built-in fuel gauge, but couldn't find this, so went with the flush mount gas cap and gauge.

I got curious and looked in my JP catalog and found a flush mount LED fuel gauge and also a flush mount gas cap by Kuryakyn. Not sure if they also make other styles of flush mount caps but it's someplace to start.

Doesn't the MOCO have it in the P&A catalog?

This is the Harley part # 62818-06e
The Kuryakyn unit is not flush.
I have not been able to find a dummy gas cap for the left side.

If you want a dummy cap for the left side, just don't wire it in. You won't even see the LEDs.

Interesting because I went on their website and found this and it is advertised as flush mount and their gas gauge resembles this gas cap:
