Switching seats
I wanted to know if there was an easy way from going from a 2 up seat to a solo seat. It seems like a very easy question when I could just get a passenger pillion but I already have a Fat bob 2 up seat and a lepera solo seat. I had to move the threaded *** for the seat screw. Do you think just getting another Threaded *** would work? or does somebody else have a better idea? Thanks guys

You can also take the cushions that protect the fender and stick them to the bottom of the 2up so they dont show when you run your solo. part number 11576
I have one in both spots on mine.

I bought my Lowrider in October and made to switch to solo in the first few weeks. Very easy. I had the clear plastic protector on the finder, so I carefully removed what would be visible with the solo. Went to the dealer and got one of those special fender nuts to mount my Motherwell, and I was done.

note on this, the fender nut will rattle if left in. If I wanted to take off my pillion here's what I do. I remove the rear nut. I use a shoelace and a small socket to reinstall. Run the shoelace through the hole for the seat nut from the top till it comes out under the fender. Run lace through the seat nut and then tie end of lace to the socket. Now pull shoelace up and install the seat nut and c clamp. Takes less than a minute this way and no vibrating seat nut.

Not to mention looking like a wart in the middle of nowhere! LMAO. However the front nut assy can stay on under the fatbob seat,and I can easily reach the rear nut assy with my fingers for removal. Just don't loose the little plastic insert that was originally in the forward hole,and use it to close up the rear hole when not in use (ooo that don't sound quite right does it)
