I've never heard of one. I don't know if you are covering it for looks or for protection from dirt/grime, but you might want to explore the plumbing and electrical sections at Home Depot or Lowes and see if you can find something chromed that you might be able to fabricate into what you want. Lots more satisfaction doing that anyway than just buying it off the shelf.

Yes I went to a truck stop and bought a few chrome nut covers but nothing fit either.

Default Rear axle nut covers

I have a chrome pulley, wheels, and a polished rotors on my street glide - and I am still looking for something to cover those ugly nuts. Sure, you can barely see them when the bike is parked, but I know that they are there. Call me OCD or whatever, but I don't want to see raw metal or cad plating with all that sparkling chrome!

I have something that should work for you. My eyes are not the best anymore, but it looks like I have a few at 35mm with TONS of inside room if you need to open them up some. Yours if you want them. PM me your info. These are new chrome covers.
