Default Cover up a docking system?

Is there anything that will "hide" the docking system when you want the clean look?
I have my RKC set up with two point dock and two up Sundowner seat. I wouldn't mind having a solo saddle set up to strip her down with no windshield but I think the dock would stick out like a sore thumb.
I know I could put the luggage rack on to distract from it but is there anything or way to sleak out the dock system short of taking it off?
Thanks

Have you seen the chrome magnet covers that goes over the spools of the docking hardware?

in the 2010 parts and accessories catalog, there are two choices, they are held in place with magnets, and look nice. black or chrome are available. they just go on after removing the accessory, sticking with a magnet to the posts, and they look very good.

I really did not like the look of the 4-point system until I got the covers, made it look much better still not has clean as stock, IMO, but better.

I dont have a close up pic but you can see the covers on my docking points. I think it looks much better than without.
