Default Latch Covers

Hello from the softail section.
About two months ago I put FL style bags on my Deluxe. I used the stock latches and covers on the bags/lids and Id like to keep the stock ones on there. What I want is something to either cover the reflectors or replace the reflectors.
Ive looked through a bunch of your pictures and forums but dont see anything.
Id rather not replace the entire latch cover as I like the shape of the stock one and most replacements have flames or some other crap on em or shaped weird.
If you have any suggestions or anything comes to mind please post up.
Thanks

youve done a great job with that deluxe. i'd love to see more pics of it.

ive got a few buds that have simply removed the reflector insert. it cleaned the look up. i have also painted a set of reflectors black. that looked nice as well. scuff em and shoot em,no big deal. personallly, i like the looks of the red reflectors. they dont really bother me these days..

Texas, I think those are the ones I saw on ebay. I kinda like those but was hoping there was something else out there or maybe something solid. May have to go with those though

Thanks Head. I may just paint them the same color as the bags. Never really thought painting themt. And if it doesnt look good then just go with what Texas has unless someone has a better idea
As far as pictures I dont want to post a bunch of softail junk in the touring section. If you or anyone wants a few more pictures I have some pictures of my bikes here:

At first I used some black reflective tape from these guys:

After a while I decided I wanted something different and went with panels from these guys:

Thanks for the replies. Looks like those chrome inserts are the closest thing to what Im looking for.

Do they just attach over the reflectors or do you have to remove the reflectors to attach the inserts?

Again thanks.

You'll need to pop off the reflectors.
