Default Removed Passenger Floorboards, Now What?
I removed the passenger floorboards after installing a new solo seat. I was wondering if anything is sold to cover up the holes where the floorboards were? It looks like something in missing there now, not sure if they sell small plates or anything. I checked J&P and didn't find anything. I know Google is my friend but I like to think of you guys as better friends haha

We'll HD sells the little black rubber plugs that go there, but those only plug the holes and don't cover the whole thing

When I took my passenger floorboards off, I got stainless steel allen-head bolts to fill the holes. Inexpensive and they do the job...

Head to the closed auto parts store and look for something like.

They should have them in different sizes.

Squirt some grease in the holes before you plug them too. Water gets in there and will rust the hell out of the threads.

Go get another girl!

When I was single, I always kept my bike solo..... If I was seeing an ugly girl, I never let her know I had a passenger seat, if she was pretty, it always had the passenger sat and pegs on!

I just used those plastic "help" plugs from autozone in there, +1 on grasping those threads, it'll be a mess in there if you don't

Interested in trading for chrome peg mounts? They're small but will make the area look complete at least.
