Default Deuce Solo Seat Fender Panel??

Guys
I want to put a HD solo seat on my Deuce, but that would leave the beautiful three holes under the stock seat visible on the rear fender. I know that Harley used to sell a panel to cover these holes, for those that ran a solo seat. But apparently its been discontinued. What options do I have here? I have searched around and cannot find another place that makes or sells a panel to cover these holes. I am trying to avoid having to remove the fender and have the holes filled and then repaint.
Thanks

Chilhowee Leather or Mustang both make leather bibs to cover the area.....both are nice products.

I was kind of hoping for something paint matched, similar to the Harley part.

I just posted this reply in another thread.

[/blockquote]

A preivous owner had a Deuce style backrest on my Fatboy. I picked up a Corbin Hollywood solo off ebay for next to nothing (I almost felt guilty about the price) and covered the holes with plastc push-in style panel trim pins from the local Auto Zone. They're shiny black with a smooth, low profile that matches the fender. IMHO it's a better look than the bibs. I sometimes switch back to the two up stock seat and it's nothing to pull them out, they're only a few bucks.

Also -- Love the Corbin seat. It sits lower and has a better profile than stock. My only issue with it is that it doesn't always keep mestrapped induring launch, I mean acceleration...

Thats a interesting thought. I may try that and see how it looks, my bike is cobalt blue and silver though so the part where the 3 holes are is silver. It may stand out a bit, but I guess I would have to see it.

I had the same issue when I bought a Solo Brawler seat earlier this year. I ordered the seat and the panel at the same time and when the seat arrived and the panel didn't I tried every dealer in the US to find some old stock but no luck. I bought a bib from Mustang for $30 which was better than nothing, at first I was still looking for a painted cover to match my 2003 but now I really like the bib. I will take some pics tonight and post them for you. Mustang were great to deal with also.
