Default Chrome Hole Plug size needed

I relocated the rear turn signals on my 07 Fat Boy, anyone know where I can get chrome hole plugs? 5/16 is to small and 3/8 is to big, local Harley dealer was no help!
Thanks,

If 5/16 is too small and 3/8 is too big then that leaves 11/32 as the size. I did a quick search and couldn't find any. You may need to get creative. Use a short bolt and nut through the fender rail. I haven't checked if that bolts through the fender as well.

Doesn't go through the fender. Might have to do that! Thanks

I did this on my 05 Heritage, I also used the extra 2 plugs that came in the package to cover the holes in the Nostalgic grips, let me check my paperwork when I get home tonight, if I can't find it, I'll check with my Indy, I believe he ordered them for me.

Thanks, I think I'll try 25, looks to be the holes I need filled. Certainly cheap enough.
Appreciate it!
