Default A really dumb question???

Ok....I received the Danny Gray Bigseat from Dennis Kirk today and am ready to install it.
Does the rear seat bracket install on top of the fender nuts...or do you remove these nuts and rest the bracket on the large plastic washers?

Thanks...!

OT

Let's start with what year and model bike you have and how was the other seat installed?

It's going on a 2009 EGS, replacing the Harley Reach seat.

Lets start with the answer.

You remove the two nuts and place the bracket on top of the two plastic washers (protects the fender).
Replace the two nuts and tighten.

Thanks. Wasn't sure because of the two nuts that are included with the bracket.

A short or full fender bib looks nice with a solo seat also and will cover the plastic washers.
