If like me you prefer no rear seat/grab rails you can buy these infill "lids":

Or you can do what I did. Buy some shorter bolts (I bought 16mm) and put them back in the holes.

I actually prefer the look and it cost only a couple of bucks compared to AUD$150 or thereabouts.

Should also add that I've bought one of these:

I'm going to use it to paint those two little (rear seat) bolts on the fender. They compete with the four big bolts and spoil the effect.

The touch up paint is always handy for stone chips too.

Should also add that I'm going to silicon those plastic caps on. They're more exposed to the wind than they were when the grab rails were in place and I also notice they're not quite as snug a fit on the new (shorter) bolts as they were in the stock ones. Don't really want to know what Honda would charge me to buy replacements so I figure a dab of silicon will hold them in place yet still allow me to pry them off if I ever need to.

I really don't mind the grab rails ,just hate that lame silver paint. I'm glad the previous owner had them painted to match!

I think that looks great plus you saved yourself some $$.

Tried that...

"Sir, I'm afraid you can't bring that bike in here."

"How else am I supposed to get the colour right? It won't take long. Here, hand me some of that red one there and I'll just dab a bit on my nuts and you tell me what you think."
