Rear Fender Seat Holes 2008 Fatty
Hi Guys
I am having my tins painted soon and was going to have the middle hole between single seat and dual seat fastener welded up so when I am running my single seat you can only see one hole not two .
But before I make a **** up WHATS IT FOR?
I have put all my 3 seats on Standard,Single ,and one piece dual and none of them require this hole?

I know its simple answer but when you dont know you just dont know!!!!!

Regards

I would think it was for a different seat combo other than the stock seats. Holes on the top of the fender are for seat attachments

I was wondering that the other day myself on my bob fender. I have tried about 5-6 different seats and none use the 2 extra holes. For solo a chrome plug looks pretty good.
