Default Deuce questions - thanks in advance

I'm probably going to start posting a few Deuce questions. We just bought an 07 for the wife. Likely she'll be posting a lot too. Anyway, thanks in advance for the help you are about to give us.

Here's the first one for Deuce owners... We want to add a solo seat. Do solo seats mount to that ECM bolt where the stock seat srap goes? What to do about the three holes/black plugs and the OEM 2-up seat hole? Bike is Gold White Pearl so hard to simply use the standard black plastic plug for the seat hole. Sort of prefer to not add a black fender bib because not too sure it will flow with the lines of the bike. Are there white plugs? What are those three holes on the top of the fender for anyway?

The holes are for luggage rack mounting. My solo hooks in the front under the tank, and uses the front 2 fender strut bolts (front one on each side). I plugged the 4 holes with chrome plugs that I was able to buy at HD for about $1 each. They had them in stock in the back.

Would you mind posting a few pics of your setup. Sounds interesting.

What seat is that...Brawler solo? We're looking for one. Needs to be comfy + narrow + reasonbly priced. She had a Mustang Vintage solo on her Sporty. Not sure yet if we are going that route on the Deuce. The Brawler solo looks potentially promising in the catalog but hard to tell without getting a better view or hands on.
