Default take off my solo seat??

This is a rather embarrassing and most likely dumb question, but: I bought my 2004 Deuce with an HD solo seat on it and I want to put the two-up back on but I cannot figure out how to get the seat off. There is no thumb screw or any bolt visible anywhere, except under the fender which loosening had no effect on the seat. Flame on.

Should be two screws on the sides of the seat.

That may be a dumb question. Are there not two screws or bolts, one on each side of the seat?

Negative. Checked the sides, no screws anywhere.

Just pull the seat back and up and see if it comes off. It sounds like the bolts for the seat is not there.

youve probably have the hd brawler seat. The two screws on each side of the fender that hold the strut on also hold the seat, remove both on each side and the seat pulls off.
