I'm either installing a leather fender bib.... or I've got a set of polished stainless "shaped luggage bars"... that will bolt to the fender. They are bent to the fender's radius, and stick up about 1/4"... not sure yet.

Send your fender to JRK to powdercoat it.

I fold a microfiber towel to make it long and just wide enough to cover the fender under the two up seat. Not noticeable when two up seat is on.

I keep the fender waxed and use several strips of wide soft foam weather stripping stuck to the bottom of my seat.

Recommendations for protecting rear fender from Two up seat

Just bought a Fat Bob seat for my Street Bob. I am wanting to protect the rear fender from scratches.
Do you all have any recommendations for protecting the fender?

Thanks.

I have got some neoprene that I used in conjunction with a nice microfiber/felt cover my wife made me when using my Biker Friendly bag. I guess that should work also. Wouldn't it?
