Title: Block off plate
Post by: Dudeofrude on 13 March 2017, 01:12:11 pm
 I've just removed the passenger pegs from my gen 2 and fitted a nice exhaust hanger. Now the other side looks a bit naff so I just wondering if anyone knows of a kind of block of plate to cover the holes?
Maybe something with fz1 cut into it or something?

Look at this on eBay  http://www.ebay.com/itm/251767038583 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/251767038583)

Same sort of thing as that but not for £80!! 😲😲

I just put two black button head bolts in mine to hide the holes. It looked ok. I've spoken to Evotech and there isn't a blanking plate available for the Gen 2. The plate for the FZ1 naked won't fit the Gen 2 apparently.

Yeah I've done the same but with stainless at the minute. Sucks that there aren't any avaliable.  I might have to get one made 🤔

I don't have pillion pegs on my bike as I use the peg mounts to support a rather extreme high level pipe,and when it was MOT'd last year for the first time in my ownership, the guy pointed out that I should really have a single seat as with my set up I could carry a passenger but they'd have nowhere to put their feet.He was ok about it,but I don't know if he was bullshitting or not.

Well I'll be alright either way as I don't have a passenger seat haha I keep meaning to buy one but they are just soo expensive for the once a year I'd probably use it
