Default New Seat Now Need Ideas
I got me a Lepera Bare Bones Gel Seat to replace my Harley Solo seat that was pretty used up. Now I have these two holes that you can see with the new seat installed. The Harley Solo covered these up but the new seat is smaller. Just looking for some ideas on what to do to cover these or do something with them? I am thinking of getting two of the caliper inserts that match my front axle covers and use them to cover them up. What you guys think?

Maybe a fender bib?

What bike do you have? I'm thinking of pickin up the same seat for my 95 fxstc. I put a heritage style rear fender on her. Can you take a pic of the hole bike so I can see the look?

It's a 94 Heritage. Yeah, I was thinking of a bib but I like the clean rear fender look. I'll get one of the whole bike later today as Im going to try out the new seat. Thanks for the reply!

There is a small 1-2" wide strip/bib that would be perfect. I think Mustang makes it. Check their site.

Here it is

Yep, that would be perfect right there. Not digging the brand stamp but I bet I could stitch one of those babies up pretty quickly. Thanks for the reply and link bro.

Took a couple shots earlier while I had it out for a ride. It seems to be a much better seat for sure. My first long distance trip will tell .

That's pretty slick, nice bike man. I'm torn between that seat and the barebones slim two upper. I like those bars too, who's are they?
