Covering the rear fender seat hole?

Since I'm running a solo seat has anyone come up with something inconspicuous to cover the seat hole in the rear fender I just put the seat screw back in for now.

I haven't found anything yet that I like. MoCo has a chrome thumb screw but it sticks up more than I would like

They have a flat round black plastic hole plug that fits in the fender if you take the nut out. It also has a bar and shield on it. It's part # 761. Same hole size on all bikes.

You can get Part No. 762 from the dealer. It is a plastic chromed little plug that threads into the hole.That's what I use when I don't have the rack on.

I have the same issue. When I had a softail I ran a fender bib that was diamond stich like my seat but if you want a cover for it maybe get a plastic hole filler at Harley and get some touch up paint the same color as your bike and paint it?
