    I'm looking for de-passengerize my RWB, and I've seen some bikes where the grab handles on the rear have been removed and the hole left behind filled by blanking plates. I've been looking for somewhere to buy them but haven't had any luck. Does anyone here know a source for pillion blanking plates?

    $16 for the pair from your local Honda dealer

    Or I'll trade you a pair for your grab handles. Just give me a week to get them from my local dealer.

    Didn't realize they were an OEM part, just assumed they were aftermarket. Found them on a parts diagram, ordered, $17 after shipping. Thanks!

    If you bought your bike new from the dealer they should have come with the bike. If not they owe you $17 plus shipping...

    I bought it used from a local dealer about 4 weeks ago and they didn't come with it. I work a weird shift so going to the dealer is inconvenient and $17 doesn't really bother me considering how much a lot of other bike stuff can cost.

    Well that explains a lot. thanks. bike didn't come with grab
    handles. all I wanna do is hide the bolt holes but I guess
    my only option is to buy those pricey grab handles

    I think you should post up a picture so we can see what holes you need to hide.

    Here is a shot of my last 5th gen with the solo seat installed. Are the bolts beside the seat the ones you need?

    They don't make that for the 5th gen, it's only for 2002-2009 models. 98-01 models just have pillion seat covers and remove that grab handle.
