Default Fender bib questions

On my 05 wide glide it has the regular 2up seat currently, I'm wanting to switch to a solo seat and a fender bib.

My question is, do you have to drill holes in the fender to attach a bib? Or does the solo seat attach in a different spot than my current seat, and then you already have an extra hole?

Thanks guys.

Get a bib that is designed for your bike with pre-punched holes that line up with the holes already there. Dennis Kirk, Revzilla, HD and others make "made to fit" bibs, so you should be able to find one.

Like Steve said... Most are made to fit. This one is a Saddlemen,, It fits the previous holes..

Thanks guys. I guess I could also get a bib without holes and just put them were I need it.

I took a few pics, there is one screw facing up and 2 holes, the hole closest to the tail light is the one my current 2up seat fastens to.

Which hole will the solo seat attach to?

I changed seats from 2 up to solo using HD solo seat and bib on my 2010 FXDC. No drilling. The hole close to 5" shown on your tape is the solo seat and forward bib attaching point. The rear bib attaching point is at your 2 up seat attaching point.
