Default inserts for bag latches

Does anybody know where I could get inserts for the stock latches? I know I can get after market latches but my latches have been color matched to the bike now. Looking for a chrome insert.

Check on Dennis Kirks website, I got some for an older Road Glide. Try part number
H50-079. They were around $25.00 Hope you find them.

Got mine from FBI Baggers. I got the plain ones, not the ones with "FBI" on them.

+1 on FBI. I got the color matched ones with the grooves, not the ones that say "FBI". I've had them on my last two bikes, no complaints and they look great.

Checked out FBI. Their website has lots of latch choices, but very few photos. How can you choose a new latch style sight unseen?
