Default passenger backrest woes

i ordered a backrest for my nrs, which of course the rear fender plate only had two options, chrome or gloss black... and no flat black for the sissy bar either, so overlooking the lack of love for accessories for this bike, there are no pads to match the factory seat from harley.
i ended up getting a small touring pad, but the seat as you know looks like carbon fiber.
anyone have a line on where to get a matching rear pad or where to get the material used on the seat so i can recover my pad?

p.s. for anyone considering it, i ordered the black bars for my ride, you know, the ones that should have came on it in the first place... anyhow, at least those are flat black.
