CB650R Rear foot pegs removed

[The Earle]

As Im not at the moment bothering with pillions I decided to remove the rear peg hangers. The kids have grown up and are not interested and my wife doesn’t go pillion. She actually has her own bike licence but doesn’t ride at the moment.

I looked on R&G and for about £16 they do some bolts and washers to blank off where the peg hangers go. Being the tight bloke I am I felt that was a bit much.

So I popped in to a small but well stocked local Ironmonger who sold me 4 Stainless Steel bolts and washers for £2.60. They fitted nicely and with a generous amount of anti seize copper grease they should be fine for a good few years.

Nice, these are much tidier mounts than the cb650f

The F’s are side mounted I think... the blanking plate Evotech do for the F tidies tham up but this is much neater.

Yeah they are, these are much neater imo. Made even neater by your delete and discreet infill! 👍🏽😎

It makes cleaning down there a heck of a lot easier as well.

Very smart looking!

Nice job! I seriously considered removing mine but then thought their value as disk-lock storage hanger and tail end crash protection meant I’d keep them on.

Have you got a battery tender wired up on there too?

Yep I have an optimate so hook it up whenit been standing during winter. Just keep the battery in good order.

The Earle. I like your thinking regarding the pillions plugs, did similar myself.
Have a question, i see a cable in the photo, above the shock, ?
I'm currently looking for a live blank plug to connect a GPS, do you have any idea, where i'll find one?

 

[Road Hog]

I would really like to remove them but my gf would be highly pissed off.However, I do like your tires same as mine,it shows
you have good taste.

The one I fitted to my old bike was just a 12v socket got off eBay, wired it-in with a fuse and switch directly to the battery. It worked a treat.
I have a hard wired 12v socket on this bike that was fitted by Honda.

That's what I did with my CB650R.
I have a Seat Cowl and therefore no room for a second person.

btw: I used the original screws.

You can have these posted for under £5, some dressing bolts with washers in the colour of your choice. They're quite smart, this is the only picture I've got of them atm. I put x4 on rear peg threads and x2 onto luggage bolts, out of interest do you guys have them on the CB650R? Can't see any on the tail.

Nice! What size thread are they? I would like to order some online before I collect my new CB650R on Friday!

Thanks, Rhys.

 

[ducatiman]

rubber plugs another simple option

Very nice!
My CB650F is side mount, so I replaced them with black passenger pegs.

What size bolts did you buy? Are they m8 like the cb650f?

Thanks

I've been looking for a black set. Where did you find yours? The OEM ones stand out to much but I still need passenger pegs.

Unfortunately in my country, if the bike is homologated for 2, you gotta have the foot rests in order to don't get a ticket 😒
