street two up seat
im new to this forum and a fairly new steet bob owner. ive got about 1200 miles on her and i broke down and got the sundowner two up seat. i love the look of the brawler and the looks are a big reason i went with this model, but my girl wanted to come along on some of the runs. i have to admit, i wanted her along as well. well to the question (although im amost afraid to ask after reading the fairing thread). the 2 up came with little pads glued to the rear fender. this looks terrible when i put the solo back on. did the dealer make a mistake and can these be glued to the seat. if so should i trust them on future mods.

I stuck them where the instructions said, but should have put them on the seat. When I have some spare time, I am going to get the hairdryer out and some dental floss - remove them and stick them to the seat. Try the same yourself, way cheaper than getting a new seat and the sundowner is REAL comfortable.

Over 700 miles with the wife and you cannot tell I ever had a two-up seat on.

What subculture08 said. Pads, foam strips, suction cups, etc. has been used to protect the rear fender. Your dealer installed the seat following the instructions that came with the seat. I assume that you got the quick release sissybar w/relocaton kit so you can go back to the solo seat quickly. I put a piece of car door edging on the sissybar mounting to keep from wearing a hole in the passenger seat.

RE: street two up seat
Well,....... I stuck mine on the fender, mostly because I will now have my twoup seat on 60% of the time anyway. But even if you stick them to the seat it will be possible to get some chaffing on the fender since it will be vibrating and stuff on the bare fender. I decided that I would feel better with the lil black rubber sticking to my fender as opposed to seeing scratches or rubbed of paint on my fender. But, I also have a chrome motherwell rack that I put on when I riding solo,...so that diverts ones attention away from the lil black rubber pieces.
