Works fine on the denim paint. No need to mod anything.

Seeing as you have this setup, is there any chance you can help me out with what I posted here:

I saw that, but I have no clue how to accurately draw that from the bike. Maybe try to find someone with the Harley removable bar. That is what I have, and the angle of it seems to match the seat well enough.

I'm just looking for good enough. Maybe I can pull it from a picture of the bar. Which bar do you have?

Look at post #6 in this thread. That is the closest image I have showing that angle. I have the 1 piece quick release Harley bar.

I have a question about the hardware on that seat?

My bike didn't come with a HD pillion. There's a plastic cap where the screw would go. The Danny Gray didn't come with hardware-- it's assumed you'll use the original stuff.

What all is holding the seat down? Is it just a screw, or is there a screw/small washer/nut/etc assembly that I need to put together.

The tab on the pillion seems to be way up high off the fender so I wondered if there was some sort of spacer/washer between it and the seat when screwed down.

Just trying to figure out what hardware I need to pick up.

It is just a thumb screw, or any fastener you want to use that will fit. I can't remember the size, but I want to say it is 1/4"-20? When you tighten the screw it will pull the tab down in place.
It is the same size as the one that currently holds your front seat down. There should be an insert in the fender for it to thread into?
