    Cover for passenger backrest removal

    I have the black deluxe model with the passenger backrest. Since I rarely have a passenger, I removed the passenger backrest and that leaves 4 empty bolt holes. Is there a cover that goes over these holes and makes for a more finished look? I'm assuming the non-deluxe models come with this cover, right?

    Thanks, Racer X, I'll look into that. Usually, I'm mostly interested in safety and performance mods but somehow, on this bike, I'm thinking about looks too.

    I'll post with what I figure out. Another option, I suppose, would be to add some kind of rack back there. I'm not too crazy about the OEM rear carrier especially since it's rated at something like 6 lbs. I believe, at this point, I would just rather have no rack and a smooth, finished look.

    A 6 lbs rear rack rating is no good for me. Most of the times my lunch box alone is over that rating.
