Default Deluxe seat bolts
Removing pillion seat and rack from my wife's 2009 Deluxe.
Any ideas on how to disguise the two rear seat bolts.
I don't want to have a fender bib

Not sure you can unless you changethe seat ... I went with a C&C seat which covers the 2 bolts and just use one further back ... a much better look

I used chrome acorn nuts for mine, but I am using a fender bib. Shouldn't matter either way.

I used chrome hex headed domed bolts first then I bought a Motherwell's rack to add more chrome. The rack is a nice looking and fully functional.

I turned a set out of some 5/8" hex stock that was supposed to be a temporary fix about 3 years ago. I still haven't gotten around to swapping them out for something else.

I have the mustang nuts and their mini bib. I like them both alot. The mustang nuts have the slot to put your rear pillion pad on with out removing them. By the way, I glued a piece of black felt under the bib, just in case. I ran 2 white nylon 1/4" bolts into the 2 holes where the stock rack goes(lowes). Blends in pretty good with the birch white paint.
