Default Fat Boy Backrest

Hey All,
I'm workin on designing a backrest for the Fat Boy and was wondering if I could get some help. I need the measurement from the rear seat mount hole to the hole in the fender for the Solo seat.

I need this measurement for the 2003-2005 150mm rear tire and anything prior to 2003 which was a 130mm tire

The backrest will look exactly like all of our other ones which are posted in the Vendors Classified Section

Thanks for the help

Thanks man.

These are the holes I need measured. This fender is for 06 and newer but the holes should be similar

Thanks again

I have a 2005 FatBoy, and there is only 1 hole, the one for the rear passenger pillon.
The solo seat locks down on the sides.
