Default How do these work?



Bought my 2014 Iron used and when I took off the double seat, these two parts fell off. I didn't pay any attention to how they were oriented. How do you secure a seat on the last fender seat hole? My initial thought is the black thing goes on the hole, the skinny part of it into the hole, then the seat tab, then the screw.

Nevermind, got it figured out - the extended part of the washer goes into the seat tab. Had a brain fart on that one.

And a straight zip tie makes re-installing it even easier!
