The Bib is from TimberWolf Leather and the screw is Kuryakyn #9038.

this is a view of the threaded part that you probably removed in the fender on the left and the snap in plastic plugs that harley dealers have to fill the holes when you remove it right of it. I think they just handed me 5 of them one day when I was working on changing seats there. sounds like some just left the threaded part in and screwed something in there....
I just wanted to use the free harley snap in plugs since you dont get free stuff much from the dealer.

All I read was the title but I am going with:

Put your finger in it and if that doesn't fit, use your pecker.... What do I win??

it is winter, take the fender off and get it filled and painted, will always look the best. if you're going to use the other seat from time to time, well take your pick of the above ideas

I still mount the stock seat on occasion and use a passenger pillion as well at times so I need to keep the threaded piece in place.

Bolt on a finger from a mannequin hand. You'll never need a pillion seat, but she'll never slide off the back!

Every bike gets a name, yours will be "1Stinkfinger", and with a mo****r of "mudbeast2" you can't go wrong.

Oh alright, go with the plastic plug to plug that hole. Wait, same intent, different result.

Not that you asked me but I sometimes use the rear floorboards during longer solo trips to give my legs a different position, helps reduce fatigue.
