Solo Seat Rear Fender Treatment
What is your preference for what to do with the rear fender when a solo seat is installed?
I've been toying with several possibilities including leaving it naked, going with a fender bib or installing a solo rack. And if I go with a solo rack whether I should go with the HD solo rack or the Motherwell solo rack.
Someone suggested posting some pictures of the various options. These are some I've found.

Now I'm wondering if I should have qualified the question for only Road Kings? All the SG fanboys are all going to vote "naked" 
Wouldn't a fender bib AND solo rack look somewhat "busy"? I'd like to see a picture of that.

Can you post a picture of all of your options.. maybe find some and post them. That would help me decide. I'm also going to make my trunk detachable so I'm interested in the same thing. I think naked would be nice, but as Turkeyrun stated the fender would probably be messed up from the stock seat rubbing on it.
I'm leaning to a fender bib, but pics would help me better decide.

I voted fender-bib to hide the seat hardware, but opted for the mini fender-bib from Mustang. It finishes the look of the seat bolts and lets the natural beauty of the fender shine through. It compliments the style of the RKC nicely.
Looks good with the bags on, too.

I use the Corbin Classic solo which covers (w/ the seat's "skirt") the fender mounting bolts in the fender; and, since the bike was repainted I have no fender scuffs/damage to hide under a bib.
