I bought a HD Sundowner Solo for my 2016 Fat Bob. Tried to install it today and couldn’t get the nut out of the hole where the original two-up seat mounts. Do I need to purchase a separate nut to mount the Solo or am I doing something wrong. Has anyone mounted a Sundowner Solo to a Fat Bob and had this issue?

 

Update: For those of you who read this post and for those who might read it in the future, here is the answer. On a 2016 Fat Bob (and maybe other years and models), a separate nut, black plastic U-shaped washer, and screw is needed to mount the Sundowner Solo seat to our bikes. This can be purchased from any Harley dealer for $6.00 or so. The nut mounted on the underside of the rear fender that the two-up seat screws down into cannot be removed and used to mount the Solo as it is fabricated into the mud flap/license plate bracket on Fat Bobs.

Hope this helps.

P.S. The Sundowner Solo seat now on my bike changes the riding position. I am now riding higher up and farther forward on the bike. Not yet used to it as I have only taken a test ride. May or may not like this position after I log some miles. If not, the Solo will be up for sale on this site.

 

How bout a picture.

 

Okay. Here is what the new Sundowner Solo looks like mounted on my bike. Don’t really know what to do with the 4 black square rubber bumpers on the top of fender behind seat. I think these are glued down to the fender with some type of adhesive.

 

Nice color

 

Thank you. I kinda stick to reds when picking vehicle color and this Velocity Red Sunglo just really caught my eye.
