They shouldn't be that hard to find. They are the same "lever boss covers" used on the Shimano bar-end shifters. Shimano part number 643 4300, seen here:

Talk to any of the older, established shops in Portland. They should be able to find you some.
(FWIW: in a former life, I worked at a warehouse that sold both Vitus frames and high-end Shimano parts. These parts were a common request.)
