Default What do you put under your Two-up seat?

What's the best way to prevent rub marks from the two-up seat on the back fender? I like to switch back and forth between the touring seat and a mustang solo, but would prefer to avoid the use of a bib.

Ideally you should use the paint protection film that HD sells, but since you want to swap back and forth I'd use a micro fiber cloth.

+1 on the MF cloth...thick and plush enough to protect the fender. But since I got a bib, been using it w/o problems either.

buy a sheet of magnetic materials used for buisness cards or whatever. u can cut it down to fit the contour of your fender. also mole skin works good. buy it at any pharmacy, peel n stick and remove when done doin the 2 up thing. i ride solo most of the time so its good for the 1 or 2 times a year my wife decides to go for a ride!

I do the exact same switch seat switch. A good micro fiber towel (as long as it's clean!) and you will have no problems.

I trimmed a black mouse pad to match the outline of the rear of the seat.
