So I thinking the Danny Gray speedcradle is going to be the seat of choice. Will I have to remove the fender strips for the passenger pillion. If so what is the easiest way to remove them. Thanks.
-
I have the DG Big Seat and did not have to remove
-
can you post a picture of the seat. I guess that you got a brown leather?
-
Here you go

Thanks. so there are no issues installing the passenger pillion with the strips correct. I noticed in the avatar picture that you do have a passenger pillion and a tourpack.

From the Sundowner seat install documentation....
-
The fender strips are made for the passenger pillion to sit on. I would try to put the passenger seat on prior to removing the fender strips. If it don't work, then try to remove them.
-
Some seat pillions like Mustang have their own bumpers that interfere with the strips. I drilled the bumpers off my Mustang seat that we're attached with a small blind rivet because I wanted to keep my fender strips.

No issues, strips still underneath
-
I would not use a screw driver to remove them, maybe a plastic pry bar.... Anyway I used some thick string and got it started, then it just popped right off
-
i would add a hair dryer to loosen the glue before you start prying. Wear some gloves as it gets surprisingly hot.
-
If taking off double sided emblems I would make sure the part is warm sun/hair dryer and use fishing string to cut thru the foam tape.
-
I have the mustang too. I drilled off the rear bumpers as well. I like the strips when using the solo. Hope you figure it out. Stuart.
-
I am not going to have to remove the strips. I only ordered a solo seat, so when my wife rides I will just put the stock seat back on.

Left mine on and I have a sundowner.
-
Left mine on and have a hammock.

I am looking into either buying a sundowner ore a hammock, which one of the two is more comfortable?, I am 5,7...right know when I do over 200m I feel it...I have the Cvo RGC orange and in my other RGC 2010 I have a custom seat with gel and is just perfect but the company that did it went bankrupt here in Spain...Here is the picture of my seat in my RGC 2010

I have Mustang Wide Tripper w/pillion - no problems with the fender strips left on :-)
-
I have used both. Hammock is definitely more comfortable. Caution about the height, it will raise you up another 1 to 1.5".
