I assume you mean in the hole on the rear fender?
I also purchased the Corbin pillion and it requires a pointed stud to be threaded into the hole. I thought I could find something a little cleaner looking for times when I don't have the pillion on the bike (Just like you are trying to do.). Someone suggested a small cover that is used on Sportster fenders but my stealer couldn't figure out what I was talking about. I seem to recall seeing a picture that was posted and it looked smooth and almost flush.
Perhaps someone here can offer a part number.

You can get a chrome screw from HD part # 51676-97A page 381 of the parts & accessories catalog or go to your HD dealer and have them look up the black plug that comes in the fender of the Sportsters that come from the factory with the solo seats on them. Tell them to look at an 883 Low. I have the chrome screw in mine.

I use an HD chrome plastic threaded "****" for lack of a better term. You can get the PN from Dawg. It's what HD used on the 2003 Anniversary Springer softail and costs about $3. When I use the pillion, the plastic **** comes out and the HD accessory knurled screw secures the pillion.

GMC,
That is one clean looking bike. Can you tell me about the rear end mods including grab rail and tag bracket. PM me so it's not a HiJack

I just installed the Corbin Classic Solo about an hour ago. For the time being I just put the stock chrome screw back in the fender but would like something better. I also don't like being able to see the hardware under the back of the seat when looking at the bike from the rear. Need a small skirt or something.
badjustbad, I got the Touring Pillion and it does not use that pointed stud you mentioned. Mine just screws in there with the original seat screw. My bike is an 07 FLHRS.

Well, I just got back from a ride of about 4-5 hours and that gap in the back exposing the hardware, that I complained about in an earlier post, is no longer there. It looks great. I guess it just needed my fat azz on it for a while to settle in.
I like the seat and backrest a lot but damn they are expensive.
