Once you have removed the pillion footrests, fill the void left behind and cover those otherwise exposed holes in the sub-frame with the R&G blanking plate. 

This Footrest Blanking Plate have been designed to cover and protect the left hand side of your Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX ’20-.

R&G Footrest Blanking Plate is easy to install, simply screwing in place of the rear pillion peg, covering those otherwise exposed sub-frame holes, that if left uncovered could result in corrosion from dirt, water and debris buildup.
