I fitted some Evotech Performance rear pillion blanking plates; and took the time to weigh what I had removed. Useful weight saving! I will never carry a pillion while I own this one ...

The Evotech quality is amazing, fully CNC milled with a top chamfer that blends in beautifully

Did you weigh the new brackets and bolts to get the net weight loss?

Nope that would have required far too much forward thinking. My guess is 100g / 4oz for the blanks and screws

We can't do that here. The yearly Warrant of Fitness inspection requires pegs if there is a pillion seat.

I am really grateful for this comment as I hadn't even considered the legality .... turns out in the United Kingdom it's a fail on an MOT (Yearly basic fitness evaluation) though plenty of evidence that its not noticed. Given its a 3 minute job I'm leaving them in the bag ... Plus MOT is only on bikes 3 years and over so I have 2 year 11 months to worry about it
