Pillion seat blank?

     Evening all, joined tonight to specifically ask this question (which is poor forum etiquette I know) but I just pulled the standard seat off my Deuce and there is a nightmarish arrangement of three giant bolts sticking through the rear fender! Now these are obviously from the sissy bar which I asked the dealer to ditch before I bought it but it sure did surprise me this afternoon!

     

    Anyway, the question is, is there a readily available product, some kind of blank cover I can buy that will bolt in place on the rear fender? That is I only want a solo seat on the bike and want to make the rest of the fender look as clean as possible. Somehting that will go from the rear of the solo seat to where the final of the three giant sissy bar bolts go would be perfect.

     

    Unfortunately, I've been scouring the internet for what seems like hours but can't find a thing, the closest to no pillion seat being one of those Phantom stick on deals.

     

    So, any help offered eagerly accepted and greatly appreciated.

     

    Cheers.

     

    Pete.

     Hey Satansfist,  the item you seek is called a fender bib.  It fixes on to cover the rear guard where the pillion seat normally sits.

    Harley do make their own, but many others are available too.  I have one made by Mustang on my bike when I go solo.

    Cheers,

    Aaaaahrrrgh! The American terminology, that's what done me in! I'm having a hard enough time with fender, now 'bib'! Thanks for the heads-up, found it in short order now I know what to look for. Much obliged.
