You can buy those on eBay or amazon. Sometimes you can stop at local brake shops and they'll give you a few that they have lying around. It's essential to cover that up because when your next brake job comes up you don't want to have trouble bleeding the brakes.

Most speed shops carry them if you can't get them locally, here's a list from Summit. And Monty gives good advice, you don't need them to run your brakes but protecting the bleeder and keeping the tip clean is a good practice.

I went with these after ruining several of the stock ones. Probably a good idea to gently work them off rather than using tools to remove.

FYI, there's two of these on the front for each caliper (2 on the back too I think).

A couple of other options... On a whim earlier on last year, I went with the Brembo bleeder screw cap replacements (they have a tiny stamp on them denoting such) and they fit fine..cool vendor too they throw in some nice stickers with every order.

or probably the same as what comes from the Amazon listing Jsolo linked to above..
