Default dumb bib question

Looking for a fender bib for my 2000 fatboy for when I run solo. I have a little bit of paint damage under the seat or I would just leave it off. I Did a search, but still not sure how a bib connects to my front seat? I dont have the 2 hole mounting plate on mine, so im assuming it attaches to the two screw holes that the passenger pillion attaches to? Anyone have any insight on this or who makes one that is meant to fit without the mounting plate? Ive seen the mustang one and it looks like it will work if I just punch some holes and attach it, but I wasnt sure if there was a different way. I like the wolf leathers, captain itch, and chilhowee ones but they all seem to have the 2 hole attachment point. Im sure I could rig one up regardless, but I figure i would try and get to the bottom of this before I just go for it. Thanks for your help.

I know Timberwolf leathers makes them for your bike. The front is held on with peel and stick velcro under the seat and the back uses the screw.

Keep in mind that we are a custom leather shop and can make it almost any way that you would like ..We surely can make it with out holes.

My Mustang bib just attaches to the fender under the seat with velcro that they supply. Works like a champ on my 05 FLSTC
