Heritage softail solo?
I have a 2006 Heritage Softail with the passenger pillion. When the pillion is removed, there is a plastic "sticker" that protects the fender. What do most of you do when you ride solo without the pillion. Will it harm the paint if the protective sticker is removed and what about the 2 bolts for the pillion. How can a clean look be achieved?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Get a rubber plug (made by harley) with the bar and shield on it for the holes. Don't know about the fender getting damaged or not, but you can take a hair dryer to the sticker and peel it and use wd40 or goo gone to remove the rest of the glue...I have a double seat obviously.

It's a bit of a pain to cut out and put on the fender if you're going to be removing and putting back the passenger pillion often, but if it's just something you do now and then, the stuff is clear and does a pretty good job of protecting the fender.

It may not be an adhesive. I just wanted to be sure before I started pulling it off.

I use the MustangFender bib too. It looks great and it's inexpensive.

The plastic sticker is there to protect your paint from the underside of the pillion. If you remove it, you'll want to replace it before you put the pillion back on or you'll scratch the paint on your fender.
