Hello,
1st of all Happy Father's Day to all!!!
I just changed the stock seat to a solo seat on my '03 EGS and I was wondering where or what I can find to fill in the hole where the stock seat bolted on.
Any thoughts?

 

Can't help you with your question, but what seat did you buy and do you like it. I am thinking of going solo also.

Thanks,

 

I got a Tedd's V-Twin off of E-bay:

and I love it. I only have approx. 250 miles on it but I think it was a good deal.
Hope this helps!
Let me know how you make out!

 

I installed a rear fender bib. I guess you can put thescrewback in.

 

I could put the screw back in but it would be loose. I really don't want to get a washer to make it tight. I want something that looks kinda clean and not like an after thought.

 

Doesn't hd make a button clip for it? Thought I have seen them. Check with your local dealer. Can't be that expensive.

 

There is a company that makes custom screws for this application...chrome with different colored stones and such. I can't remember the name but they are frequently on ebay.

 

Thanks for the idea, I will have to shop around. I know that there is a place that sells "spikes" for there, but that seems like it might not be a smart place to have a spike.

The guy who sells the seat screw is named Tom. He is located, here, in NM. Right down the street from me. I bought the screw, and love the look of it. I have a black pearl rk custom. Got the malikite (sp?)one, looks sharp. You can find him on ebay, just search for harley seat screw. Very nice guy, and he makes them himself. He also makes a dash cover screw, to replace the ugly one MoCo puts on.

 

Some HD models come stock with solo seats and have a black plastic plug filling the hole, which you can buy from your dealership. It doesn't look as bad as it sounds. You can also buy various chrome thumbscrews like this one: http://www.kuryakyn.com/products.asp...ey&ci=2707

Fill in the blank space with something like this from www.timberwolfleather.com:

I just bought one and installed it today, and the photo is from the site, not my bike. I'll take a shot of it tomorrow. Timber Wolf Leathers has a variety of fender bibs to choose from. If you want a Mustang bib I'll sell it to you for $20 + shipping.
