Default replacing 09 FLHR bumper

Is there a replacement for this part? Doesn't have to be from HD to get my attention. I consider myself to be fairly good with google but I am not finding anything that will replace the 09 bumper on my RK. So, I thought I would post this to see if any of you online outlaws have some ideas. I like the "v-logo" they make for the 08 and later bikes but from what I read it won't fit my bike. I could be reading it wrong.

Front or rear? Front fender hasn't changed so it will fit. Rear fender is larger. Why not just remove the bumper altogether?

Sorry, I only have a bumper on the rear only. I thought about just taking the rubber out but then there is a gap between the rail and the fender. Not sure that would look so good.

I'd remove it altogether. On the 09's it's easy since you no longer need a support bracket in it's place like previous years.

No Kidding? (You should see my face ) All this time I have been reading that it is needed for support. Never once did I hear that the 09's don't rely on it. YOU ARE THE MAN!

Yea, 09 and later have a different support design and don't need the bumper or bracket.
