Default Solo seat & passenger foot boards

I have a solo seat on order for my 16 RK. I noticed that several people leave the passenger foot boards on the bike. I personally like the cleaner bike look without them.
For those who have pulled them off, is there something to cover the holes from the mount?

I took mine off and left my bolt holes open but Ive wondered if theres something other than threading bolts into all 8 holes. HD must have something, they seem to have everything else you could think of.

Thought of that too. It would look better if there was an elongated cover in black.

I think harley even has the rubber plugs for the holes and I've seen bolt on chrome and black long oval covers on eBay. I make do with a little black paint on the threads.

Harley-Davidson part number 90493-83 is the black plastic plug, though you can buy the identical plugs much more cheaply at a hardware store.

I bought some cheap black plastic plugs from Home Depot (or Lowes), but I didn't cover all the holes...enough so that I don't notice any more.
