Default Riding solo

I wanted to set up my new FLSTCI to ride solo, so I was surprised when I removed the passenger seat and found that I had a hole and a couple of rubber seat supports to deal with. Can anybody tell me a a way to dress up those spots?

Yeah, I'm going to order a Mustang fender bib. I was thinking about getting the low profile H-D pillion...since I'm leaving the passenger pegs on. It looks a little better than the stock pillion.

I have a 94 Nostalgic suffering from the same problem. I put a luggage rack on mine, problem solved.

Thanks for the ideas. I think I'lll price the luggage rack because I like the extra chrome in that location. I did a quick release setup for my sissy bar, so now I'm wondering if I'll be able to slip it over top of a rack and set a luggage on the rack. If not, I like hte look of the studded bibs too.

I took the rear seat off, put on a Mustang leather fender cover, installed a over fender rack, and layback plate holder... Pic in my gallery...
