Hold on...you can get a chrome one, but it may not be OEM..Drag Specialties will have one

Yes, it'll be exactly like the OEM one. Ther's a few manufacturers that offer them. This is what you're looking for. The
link is just a suggestion, you'll have to find one that fits your Fatboy. I'm sure they're out there.
