    Convert to no back rest?

    I am not needing the backrest on my deluxe, for now. Maybe the beautiful wife will decide to ride someday? Anyhow, I removed the backrest to give a nice clean look. I'm left with the mounting plate to cover the mounting holes. What part do I need to restore this look to a standard non-deluxe rear end? Can so someone post a pic of the non-deluxe back end? Thx...

    I just bought black plastic plugs to cover the holes. I suppose you could also consider adding a rack if that's of interest.

    If you ever wish to sell it, keep me in mind.

    What are the standard parts? In any event, I'm not parting with the backrest, just not using it for now. I just want to convert to standard OEM look. But thanks for the offer.

    That's a great idea for bike week. (AZ Bike Week is next week) Stock shield and no backrest or rack.

    Where did the plastic plugs come from? Will the same ones from the Bikemp3 rack work?

    I believe that he was tugging on your pants leg. There are no standard parts, we have a blank area.

    These are the pieces you need to find to fill the access holes. Left and Right top lids.
