Default Heritage Passenger Floorboard Removal???

I removed the passenger floorboards from my bike, I wanted a cleaner look to it since I removed the 2 up seat and backrest.
Without the passenger floorboards it looks sweet but I have the mounting pegs sticking out and wondered if anyone knows of a way to dress up the pegs without putting the floorboards back on?
Possibly there are chrome caps that can go over the mounting pegs of something else that will disguise the mounting pegs?
I appreciate any input you can offer.

Take the mounting pegs out as well? That will clean it up even more.

I thought about that but it looks like the main rod that goes through the swing arm holds them on. It seems like a lot of work to remove them that way and if I wanted to carry a passenger again that would make it even more work.

It's just a bolt...... It shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to get them off..

If you're talking about that big 3/4 or whatever nut holding the swingarm on, it doesn't connect to the peg support. The peg fits around it. There's a smaller bolt under the peg and it's not that big a deal to get off.
