Maybe get the screwed nut from a junked petcock and put a blank (coin??) of suitable size with some sealant to block the opening.
However, why not take advantage of the twin petcocks, like two reserves, extra flow, redundancy etc.

some of the harley petcocks fit in there, think it was the pre FI models. Drag Spec. also has a block off cap for them.

I also vote for using both petcocks.  Remember, there is over a pint of gas that you can't use unless you tip the bike over with a single petcock.  Post pics of the conversion when you're done as I have thought about doing this as well...
