Was thinking about putting a Brawler Solo Seat on my 09 Ultra Classic when I am just riding solo locally. From looking at the pictures of this seat I am not sure how you fasten the rear of the seat to the fender. I dont think there is a hole in the fender for mounting. Any thoughts on this?
I have an older Brawler seat on a 2000 FLHTC, but still think the new ones mount the same. They supply a bracket that mounts to the 2 studs with the large white washers. That bracket has another stud on it that the seat actually mounts to. So the bracket mounts under the seat with the stud for the seat protruding just rear of the seat.

the brawler on the 09 mounts to the rider backrest bolts under the seat. you can see mine on my sig pic. i have others if you want.
There is an issue with the brawler - its hard to get the seat to mount forward enough so there isnt a gap between the front of the seat and the console. when they first put mine on the gap was 5/8 and you could see the wiring. looked really crap. in the end i filed down the bracket to allow the seat to go further forward.
