Default Sportster Struts

It seems like I have seen strut covers without blinker holes. Has anyone else seen these? If so, where can I pick a pair up? Thanks guys.

First off, they are called frame rail covers.

Second, I myself and many others have looked for them. They do not exist.

Funny I have allways called them "fender strut covers".
HD calls them that also.
They cover the rear struts that the fender mounts too, strut covers for short.

Bikers choice has them for older models without holes, but for older sportsters. Just googled it

Wow. Your right. Older ones. I'm still pretty confident I've seen them one time or another.

Read up on on engineering and frame terminology mister know it all.

Where they were seen was from BKrider but just checked their website and they don't have them any more but J&P sometimes does. They are called smooth Fender Strut Covers.

I have been searching for them as well with no luck. Think one could just fill the holes with some decorative head bolts to clean the look?
