Thanks for the pic. I have a black solo seat coming. It's similar to your brown seat.
I pulled the orig seat to check things out. It's easy enough to remove the plastic clip from the captive nut in the fender and relocate it then move the black plug, however I notice the paint looked funny around the middle and smaller black plastic plug. The clear is nice but the base color has a weird ring around that hole. The discolored paint will show if I used my new solo seat. The idea was to show more the nice blue CVO paint, but with this funky spot it doesn't look so good. My bike is under warrenty and I mentioned it to the dealer while visiting for something else. The service assitant said HD doesn't cover paint defects on rear fenders because this paint should not show ("I should leave the factory seat on"). Since Harley was big on selling accessories like solo seats, I thought the whole rear fender should kinda look right? After all these are HD parts, not aftermarket seats. Anyway I would have been happy if he would have just looked at it instead of dismissing me so. He could have quoted policy after a "ya, I see what you mean" intead of making me feel dumb for asking. He really didn't seem too be busy with anything anyway. When I get it together I'll take another look and if I love the solo seat setup I'll buy one of those leather bibs which cover the fender top behind the solo seat or maybe go to a different dealer to for them take a look and get there ideas.
