Cover on the right under seat

Hi,

I have a 2005 VTX 1300.

The other day I replaced the battery, rode and returned. Parked up. Yesterday I noticed that the cover for the battery housing right hand side under seat was missing.

I did not remove it and I do not think anyone would have stolen it. I did feel something come off the bike while I was riding but I thought it might have been something left on the saddle bags.

I have circled the area in the attached photo. can someone please tell me the name/designation of the part for ordering. Better, if someone knows where I can get the part, new or used that would be better. I am in Kissimmee, FL.

Thanks for your time.

Michael

Amazon has them for $39.

They appear to be available in black or chrome. The chrome ones are more popular since people like chrome but also because the right hand covers have a tendency to get melted by the exhaust and the chrome ones are a bit more immune to that than the painted ones are.

I bought a replacement grommet from Partzilla but they may have those on Amazon as well.
Thank you very much. This is more help than I expected. You saved me from having to look them up myself. I was expecting a heavy hunt.

Thanks

Not that it'll help much but I recently lost mine and I googled battery fairing cover and ebay popped up and I just shape matched it. Got new chrome ones! Nice bike man!!
Thanks. Found a pair on Amazon 2ith the recommendation and link from someone on this forum.

I only needed one but the pair cost me $42 with tax and shipping.

Hoping it will match.

Thanks
