So question for you guys. What is the leather or chrome piece called that you put on the rear fender in place of the pillon when you are riding solo. Can't find it on the harley parts/accessory page. Love to see some pics of what others are using

Thanks in advance.....

Or you can have one custom made with a design of your choosing from Norm's Custom Motorcycle Accessories. Great to work with and very talented.

If U use the stock rider seat U won't have any support to the rear when riding without the rear pillion.. Every time I got on it a little I felt like I was going to slide off the rear end..
thats why I took the stock rear seat and made it so I can have back support and good looks with one when riding solo...
bought wife the touring pads for the rear, so we wasn't using the stock rear seat anyway....

Mustang makes fender bibs too. They are not as nice as sokustoms, but a bit a bit less expensive. Let us know fi you need one, we can get you a great price.
