Default Plugging air injection, looking for reed valve cover plate....??

I'm going to remove the air injection system on my 2009 KLX250. So, looking for a plate cover to plug it the right way. I don't want to do a half assed job and cap the hose nipple or just plug the hose. Does anyone make a plate cover for this so it's a nice clean job? I'm not able to make one for a month or so until I get to my buddy's shop. Tried searching here and google and came up empty.

Here's his website bandbcyclerstoration.com
Home Page

I don't see it listed separately, but I know he used to sell it that way. It's pictued in the photo of the 351 kit.

Yes, I got mine from Mark Krieger. SS with gasket. Can't really review it because its a metal plate...with a gasket.

Presently I have one left, $12.00 with gasket and postage within the U.S. I was going to use it on my bike, but will get a couple more cut. Stainless steel, nothing special, but then you can't really see it up under there anyway.

I hope you don't object to plugs/caps too much. You're still going to have to cap the vacuum outlet on the carb and the outlet on the airbox.

I'm thinking a good hardware store might have plugs to fit the air box, an automotive store a cap for the vacuum fitting... if one wants to go for the finished look. Otherwise a bolt clamped in a piece of tubing will work.
