I have one that I leave on all the time, whether solo or 2up. Rather have the indents in the leather than my fender. Visit my web site and you can see pics of it with the solo, if you want.

i have the HD bib. i really like it and leave it on all the time. i mount my motherwell rack and 2up seat over top of it (not at the same time of course). it just keeps those seat bumpers (which are attached the the seat, not the fender) from polishing paint.

I have a Mustang Bib for my Sportster to cover up a mess caused y the previous owner running saddle bags under the Badlander seat.

My SB I was lucky and it was solo only when I bought it so all I had to add was a rack.

Mustang is a great Bib for the price just be sure to wipe it down with some leather dressing now and then.

I was thinking about getting a bib for putting under my rear seat pillion when I put it on. I had someone on the back for the first time lastnight and when I took the rear pillion back off tonight I noticed a few little scratches there I don't like......

Think the HD one is low-profile enough to go UNDER the rear pillion, then take off and not have any scratches on the fender?

The Mustang works just fine under a pillion. I run mine under all the time. Can't imagine the HD is thinner, but if it is I would not want it for protecting my fender.

Cool! What's the bottom side of the Mustang like? Will it scratch with someone sitting on the pillion? Like I said, I usually run without anything on the back fender.

Where's a good place to find it........I'm sure a Google search would turn up the most expensive place first...
