I want to be able however to take it off and put it back on when I no longer want to use the stock solo seat.
If my buddy put the sundowner on and used a c-clip, the nut should stay in place even after I back the screw out and remove it, correct?
By the way also....after I remove the sundowner, does anyone know where I can get a rubber grommet to put back in the open hole on the fender that is used only for the 2-up mount? OR any other material or trick that will cover the hole?
If you get a thumb screw, get 2 so you can use one for your solo and leave the other in the fender hole. Too much trouble to remove the seat nut with E clip when just swapping seats.
I have a fender bib and use the "crown" style seat bolt I bought from Loner.
Had the same problem going from the stock 2-up on my LR to a le pera solo.
Nut and c-clip about $5 at H-D. Knurded screw about $15. easy install, just
snake small wire thru top of fender hole then out by side of tire. Thread thru nut
then tie knot. Pullup on wire and hold will u slip c-clip in place. Also put a harley fendr bib on to hid some scratches. kinda pricey but looks ok.
Is it not a typical round nut? Does part of the nut itself extend thru the hole so a clip can cinch it to the fender...is that what I am missing?
Yeppers. It's the same set up that keeps the backend of your solo set attached. Get a manual and read the directions, if not you are headed for trouble.
