Default Fatboy Lo Seat

Does anyone know if I can remove the passenger pillion on my 2016 Fatboy Lo turning it into a solo seat?

Why can't you just unscrew the pillion pad?

You'll void your warranty and never be able to get an extended warranty.

Im not sure if they are one piece, the pillion and the main seat. If it is all one piece, I think he may be asking if they will come apart? Not enough information here. I have a dresser so, I dont worry about this stuff. I do like the softails though, fantastic bikes.

Fatboys are two piece seats. It'll come off. It's barely on there to begin with.

So, whats the problem here? Should be easy to make it a solo seat. Also, once you ride behind a fairing and listen to the stereo...... yeah. Love my bagger.
