Ok this one is going to be dumb, but here goes. Am I doing something wrong with this two piece seat thing? I mean taking the passenger pillion off exposes unbelievably ugly thumbscrews and black plastic. Does anyone actually run it solo with it looking like that? Surely I am missing something here. I like the solo look on my FLTRXSE but can't get past the ugly bolts and plastic.

I don't think you're doing anything wrong.  The plastic is easy to remove.   You could replace it with 3M clear plastic.  You can also replace the screws with chrome buttonheads.  If you do not like that look, you might be able to find an insert to replace the rear portion of the seat.  Good luck!

The small chrome button that goes in the thumb screw place on the fender is under the stock passenger pillion.

Hard to hid the two factory screws that hold the front seat on.

However a corbin fixes that.

yeah this is more what I was talking about. the plastic piece under the big factory thumbscrews (and the screws themselves) are sure an eyesore. Oh well. Nothing is perfect.

There is a flap that you can reach in under the back of the seat and pull it down.  It will cover the plastic and the big bolts.    (No, that's not a scratch,  but a piece of hair or lint.)

Dude that is perfect. I knew there had to be some catch to the way it looked. Thanks a ton!

No problem.    Don't forget to use the chrome button that's on the underside of the pillion seat to screw into the hole in the fender when you go solo mode.    You can see what the button looks like installed in my pic.

Does anyone know the part numbers for those two chrome strips that the passenger seat sits on?  Those look much better than the clear film stuff on my '10 FLHXSE.

A friend of mine wants to know what backrest options are available on Road glide and Street Glide 2 piece seats. Both want it for one up but leave back section on. Any options?

[FLSTFI Dave]

Harley did not set up for the two piece seats on the CVO RG or SG to have a way to use a rider back rest.  That is why I have an after market solo on mine.

Thanks for the info.
