Default Seat Mod for NT

I just bought a HD brawler solo for my NT. I haven't messed around with it yet, but does it go on/off like the stock HD seat? A dealership already installed it for me (after it was in the shop for other repairs) and it doesn't have the typical screw to secure to the rear fender. How does this come off? Also, does the plastic that covers the rear fender underneath the seat just peal off?

A service guy at the dealership mentioned a passenger pilon may not work on the denim black paint. Anyone with experience in this? I know, a lot of questions but I appreciate the help.

The brawler either screws on like the badlander or may bot on under the fender struts. When I installed my bare bones seat I left the plastic cover on and ut a fender bib over it. I think the leather bib looks great and it protects the paint.

The Brawler leather seat was my first mod, even before the exhaust, and I am very happy with it. The front attatches just as the stock Badlander seat does, the rear uses a screw in **** type with a HD logo insert that was included with the Brawler seat instead of a screw head type. Yes the plastic just peals off the fender, keep it just in case you ever want to put your stock seat back on.

Good deal. So the plastic is able to be reapplied? I was thinking about getting the passenger pilon, but when I have the lil lady with me, i'd rather just put the stock seat back on and save the $119.
