Yes I did. I went back and edited my last post, to include that info.

What size rivnuts did you use to mount the seat rail? I like the seat rail but will see if I can find one used. Any photos of the Kong tuning holes? Sorry for all the questions...

The riv-nut gun came with several different sizes. I used the 1/4"x20 in aluminum. I have the same size in steel as well. Its a handy tool to have.


Nope, no pics of the compression holes I drilled.


Anyone looking for an '09up police solo seat with all the pieces including the rail? This is a great deal: http://www.retiredpolicebikes.com/in...463&Itemid=176 :if its still available. I noticed that you have seen that one already. Wrong year but the seat itself will fit on an earlier T-bar and then fit your bike.

You can outfit your FLHP with easily found accessories with quick detach hardware and be ready for any occasion in just a few minutes.
I've never gotten any complaints about the comfort of the Mustang "pillion" either.
Here's just a few pics of a few different configurations, for different purposes. Works for me. Good luck with whatever you choose!
Like the way you have that set up. What is that round chrome thing on the right side saddlebag guard?

Thanks for the compliment!


Well since this thread is already off track, I can tell you about the "round chrome thing".


Several years ago, a friend and myself were having a light hearted discussion about "guardian bells/gremlin bells" and their purpose. Another friend joined us near the end of the conversation, in time to hear that the bells should be given to you from someone who cares and has your safe keeping in mind.
A few weeks later the late to the conversation friend presented me with this largest bicycle bell that I've ever seen. It rings with a very loud DING DONG.
I thanked him for the kind gift, mounted it on my bike and its been there ever since.

You would have to contact the seller on the Retired Police Bike site, either by replying to his post or by sending him a PM (private message).

I bought a large Kong but when I sat on the seat the rubber bumpers were almost touching the frame rails so I picked up an XL in red. Drilled and tapped the bracket just behind the bend then installed a 1/2"-13 button head screw. I'm going to test it tomorrow, weather permitting.

Still waiting on the Utopia backrest and grab rail.
