Solo Seat Instruction Please
Wanting to put a Brawler Seat on my Night Train. Currently have the stock badlander w, PCV on top of battery which moved the ECM up the fender a bit. Will the brawler work? If so I am leaning toward vinyl since it will last longer, bad idea? How do I remove the factory clear fender sticker that protects the paint? I want to be able to switch the seat to 2up when the wife wants to go also, does this mean I need a fender bib to hide the hardware for the 2-up seat? Currently I have a bobtail fender rack that will soon be on the classified section too. If all goes well this year will end up with a lowering kit, solo seat, Tri-bar LED and swingarm bag. Already got rid of the giant windshield in my Sig pic by the way, just don't have anymore pics of my ride other than my blurry cell phone ones. Thanks for any input.

I have a brawler seat and a PCV also. Everything fits the same as it did with the badlander. I pulled the sticker off of my fender and wish that I hadn't. You will need to keep it on there for two up riding and put a fender bib over it when riding solo. It is probly the best fender protection out of all of the options. You are really going to like the feel of your bike lowered and the look of it with all of your planned additions. You should also consider changing the front springs out for Progressive's and the fork oil to screaming eagle. The ride will really improve.

Thanks. I used the Progressive 422's to lower the rear but if I had the money I would go with Shotgun air shocks. The Progressives are great but I have heard nothing but good things about the Shotgun. I actually rattle can painted the stock lowers with Rustoleum over a year ago using directions I found on the forum. It was easy and cheap and still looks good. I installed black Pro One 3 degree raked trees that brought the front down about an inch but I haven't taken any new pictures. I like the look of powder coating but it always seems like a hassle.
