Installing 2-up seat

I've been thinking abut getting a 2-up seat, probably a Mustang, and was looking at how the seat attaches to the fender. My '96 1200c has a hole in the fender with a plastic plug in it, but there does not appear to be anything for a bolt to thread into.

Is there some aditional part I need in order to install a 2-up seat?

Remove the plug, and move the threaded part where you currently screw in the seat to the back hole. There is a plastic clip holding the threaded part on the fender. All you have to do is remove the plastic clip, the metal threaded part will drop. Pull a zip-tie through the metal threaded part and feed it under the fender into the back hole, and reattach the plastic clip.

Trust me, it is a lot easier than it sounds.

Thanks! That sounds easy enough.

I finally got around to checking this, and I don't see a plastic clip holding the threaded part on - in fact, it looks like the threads are part of the fender.

Is the plastic clip on the underside of the fender? Does this require lifting the bike?

maybe a 96 is different than my 06, here's a pic from Mustang's site that shows the piece and the clip, The nut goes under the fender, held in place by the clip on top
