Default Solo seat, what to do with fender hole
Looking for ideas and pics of what you guys do with the hole on the rear fender after installing a solo seat. Love my solo but that hole left behind is driving me nuts. Thought about some kind of small low profile rack. What say the jury???

I put a plastic HD plug in mine, but you can get a plug at the hardware store.

does it fit in the threads or did you take the insert out? I want to leave the insert in case I need to put the passenger seat on.

No, I took the insert out, because of the rattle. However, before that I had a HD chrome cap that press fit into the insert.

I swap seats when my wife wants to ride, so I just leave a seat bolt in.
