Need suggestions. Looking at the photos, I finally got a solo seat for the 86 that I like. But, that leaves the fender exposed. A lot of people buy fender bibs to cover the abused part of the fender, that is normally not in great shape, due to the one up seats. My fender is in good shape and I would like to show it off. But, looking at the second pic, you can see some damage where the mounting bolt for the one up seat has messed up the fender. I'd like ideas of something to screw into this bolt hole to hide that chipped paint or fill the hole with something. Show me what you've used. Go!!!

How about a rubber washer under the seat mount.

Get a small vinyl flag sticker just large enough to cover the damage and screw hole.
