Cool Help With SPOKES

I need some help from all the guys running Fat spokes on here. I ordered my Fat spokes, and now Im tryin to find Tubes. Dont care if they say there tubeless or not, Im running tubes. I ordered 21x3.5 up front and 16x3.5 on the rear.
Looking at the Drag Specialties 21x3.25 -3.5 tube for the front, but they have a Brass fitting on the stem. Question is, does somebody make a cover to go over that?
I ordered Black rim with Chrome spokes and a Brass sleeve on the tube is gonna look like
Garbage on the rim. Any suggestions guys? I know I can always paint the sleeve, thats not the problem, I would like to have a tube that has the chrome sleeve that will match up with my spokes. Maybe somebody makes a chrome sleeve to go over the stem? As always, the help is appreciated fellas.

Yeah, ive talked to the HD dealer here in town, and they dont offer the 21x3.25-21x3.5 tubes. Ive talked to 3 dealers on the phone and same thing, they dont have them either.
SO, Im back to square one. I just want to make sure that if I get the Drag Tubes, then I want to put a chrome sleeve on it to match. Just gotta make sure that I can get a sleeve that will fit over the Stem. Thanks for the advice fellas
