Default Seat Screw, er plug....

Ok, I've look in the catelog and on line but I'll be damned if I can find something that can be screwed into the hole left when I take off the passenger pillon on my Fatboy. I can't believe HD doesn't have something for this - given they sell change holders!! I must be missing it - steer me the right way folks!

Not sure on your Fatboy but on my 06 Deluxe when you take the passenger seat off there is a Chrome plug underneath the seat that come out and is used to go into the hole. Take a look maybe there is one.

I covered mine with one of the Bar & Shield license plate mounting hardware pieces.Had to cut off the stud a little bit to make sure it didn't hit the tire,but looked pretty cool.A lot of people asked me about it.

I am trying to find something to plug the front two holes on my rear fender where the threads were to hold on the passenger seat. I am not planning on putting the seat back on, but want to cover those holes.
