R & G footrest cover - 2 pieces in a set for left & right

For many bikers, a standard motorcycle is merely a basis for creating an individual custom bike. To do this, they make numerous conversions and additions. If the vehicle, which is approved for two people, now becomes a solo bike with just one seat, the rear footrests are superfluous and can be removed. But what do you do with the resulting screw holes and openings in the fairing? The answer is quite simple: you select a suitable footrest cover from our online range at TecBike and seal the holes.

Regardless of the horsepower, displacement or motorcycle brand - every bike must be equipped with suitable footrests for the permitted number of people.

It is important to keep an eye on the safety and actual function of the components. We therefore recommend using only high-quality products.

Removing footrests for the pillion passenger

Your motorcycle is approved for the transportation of two people as standard. In the course of your conversion work, you have decided to turn it into a bike that only offers space for one person. This means that you not only have to remove the pillion seat or make it unusable, but also remove the footrests for the passenger. Approval of the structural modification and registration in the papers are mandatory. It is also essential that the single seat has a minimum length of 30 cm.

Removing the pillion footrests is very simple. Depending on the type of motorcycle, you will need the following tools:

• Screwdriver
• Allen key
• Ratchet wrench

Before you can remove the footrests from the motorcycle, the first step is to loosen the screws on the seat and lift off the seat. Now you have access to the "inner workings" of your bike. If a fairing is part of the bike, it must also be removed at the rear. Here it is important to really loosen and remove all the screws. Carefully pull the fairing itself backwards.

A little dexterity is required to remove it without damaging it. Pull the fairing apart a little to remove it. If the pull is too great, there is a risk of damaging the fairing.

Then it is the pillion seat's turn to be removed. Once it has been removed, the screws of the rear footrest system are exposed and can be loosened with a suitable tool. Then attach the cover. Now carefully refit the fairing and tighten all screws. A seat wedge makes the pillion seat unusable.
