Fender Bib?
What do you guys do with the two bolts on the fender? I though I should have something in the holes.
I was planning on just keeping them in and putting the bib over it, but the bib doesn't sit flush now. Or will it form when it gets warmer out?

as a FatBoy owner with a bib, i don't have those bolts there.. but what you could do is go down to your local hardware store and just get some smaller-headed bolts that will act as a filler in the hole, but not jut upwards as far..ya know?

are you talking about the 2 bolts that hold the seat on? or where it's making the bib arch?
edit: nvm..i think i follow what you're saying.. it's bolted on correctly, but it doesn't fit right which is why it's arching?
i was looking at where it's arched and thought you had 2 other bolts on the fender that were keeping it propped up.. are you sure they gave you the right part number? 52018-08?

I also ordered the Mustang bib; I was not happy with it's appearance as it laid similar to yours...and yes I ordered the correct part.
I took it off, but will probably use it when I run the passenger seat to protect the fender. Here's what I ended up doing...kinda' prefer the nekkid look anyway.
