Default Does anyone make passenger peg block off / delete plates

Does anyone make rear passenger peg block off or delete plates to cover up the 4 holes in the frame?

Id like to remove mine but dont like the unsightly 4 holes it leaves behind in the frame.

Thanks

The open ones on my 14 are starting to corrode a bit, and that bothers me. There are a couple other posts on here about getting some black plastic plugs from an automotive store or hardware store and plugging them up. that is what I plan to do after removing and treating the corrosion.


maybe that would work instead of a plate?

I removed all my passenger hardware. I tapped all the holes, so they were clean. Then I ran a bolt in each hole covered in anti-seize to protect from corrosion. I went to my local hardware store that carries chrome bolts and found some chrome hole plugs. I sure they had black ones also.

I went down to talk to a local machinist the other day, but haven't followed up with him. I should stop by again on my next day off.

Not sure about 2015, but on the older bikes you could just replace the swingarm pivot blocks with FXR items, and eliminate the holes altogether.

I took my passenger boards off. I haven't decided what to do about the holes but it sure is ugly to look at. A plate to cover that up would be nice.

I bought black plastic plugs at Lowes in their hardware/ automotive section.

I used, what we call, christmas tree plugs or trim plugs. There black in color. I got ones that would fit the diameter and then cut them down to fill and not bottom out. Looks way better and cleaner now then the rusting open holes

I just plugged mine after lowering board, never thought about a plate for total coverage. I guess that's what a CNC turret press is for. A plate with 2 chrome button heads......
