Had a 2-up stock seat on my Fat Bob and went to install a new solo seat. Took off the stock seat and popped the clip off the nut that runs up through the fender that the rear seat bolt screws into. I don't know what it's called, but it's that nut with the little tab on it. Attached is a picture.
That little clip is called a Jesus clip, if it ever comes off while you're riding down the freeway.....that's the first thing your passenger will say when or if the seat comes off the bike.
