new seat
got my solo seat on sat and when i took off the stock seat there was dirt and such under it. wash it off but there is something ,don't know what still there.was wondering if anyone knew how to get rid of it.maybe the seat rubbed ,dont want to do more damage by using the wrong thing.thanks you guys are the best.
My wife got a solo seat for hers and she had similar dirt & marks on her fender. I washed the bike but the marks didn't come off. The underside of her stock seat has two hard black plastic nub areas that apparently have been touching the fender. I couldn't get it off but luckily her solo covers it.

I had a similar problem with my seat. A couple of staples were scratching the paint. I went and bought some small rubber bumpers that you put on the back of paintings (one side is sticky) and put them over the staples. Not more scratching.

Last week I was at Carlisle PA for the bike event, I was in the Mustang tent and i saw them doing a install on a customer bike. They put wax on the black rubber mount under the seat. I use the mustang solo and there passenger rear seat. I remove the passenger rear seat when I don't have the little women on the back and when I remove seat it leaves a little mark. The mark come off when you wax it, so I'm going to give this little trick a try.

I just put a solo seat on my bike last month and there are still rub marks on the rear fender from teh stock seat. I have used good wax and haze remover and they are stil there. I power buffer might work, but I don't want to risk bunring the paint so i just deal with it.
