New Seat Question

crabbypaddy · 04-05-2009, 08:30 PM

I bought a Mustang Solo seat with folding backrest for my 08 Nomad. I have a mustang fender bib that matches my tank bib, but I like the plain fender look better. Any idea's on what to do with the backseat mounting holes?

I've seen some guys put chrome bolts w/ stiletto nuts on them and that looks pretty good.
Or maybe a rack that matches the saddlebag top rails, if you have them:

Chrome bolt (plain or something more fancy) like audiogooroo said, or paint a bolt to match the bike show it does not show up so much.

Put on a Mustang fender bib and a chrome bolt, ride solo.

What's a stiletto nut?

Hi Mac,

I am thinking a stilletto nut is pointed as opposed to an acorn nut which is rounded (as you know).

Thanks for the ideas, I have a Mustang fender bib . I like the plain fender look better. I'll have to wait and see how the Mustang seat fits then decide on using the mustang fender bib or going with a chrome bolt of some kind. Thanks for the replys

I used the mustang seat with the fender bib and I love the look.
