Could someone please help with any suggestion.
I own a Deuce 2007 custom.
I wanted to put a back seat for the misses on from time to time. What a pain in the *** that is. This model doesn't have side bolts to easily take on and off. So I have to get the hand under tight fit to work the bolt off the back faring.
The bolts come through the back fender and spoil the slick look unless I take them off which is pain staking. My only option I think is to get a cool looking cover /chrome piece that runs front seat up and covers the bolts that I can easily take on and off which wont ruin the look.
Any suggestions. Is this common???
Welcome to HDF from the UK. Your bike had a dual seat when new, so why not just leave it on?! For more practical help call in the Softail forum, where they have probably got a solution for you.
