Default buckshot pushrod tube cover?

I have an 08 Nightster
I remember seeing a "buckshot" style pushrod tube cover. Just like a accent piece that you can add to the bike, but now I can't find it at all.
I remember seeing a picture posted on this site of it on someone's bike.
can someone help?

Were they brass? Here's a link to J&P: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/420-582. I'm sure they could be powder coated.

No I found those they are like that but made by a small shop you can get them black or chrome. I'm looking for chrome.

Thanks for all the help but those aren't it. The closest ones are the brass ones. All I can remember is it was some small custom parts shop. Maybe they are not around any more :/

Kicking this back to the top, as I have a similar problem: I want to go with a ''dull chrome'' look on my 48's pushrod covers, but I don't want to remove the top end of motor to have at them and it looks like it might be pretty hard to do a good job in situ.

Need to find a good set on snap on covers or figure out a way to make a set out of a new pair of stock covers?
