Default Solo seat Mini fender bib, bolt bracket for Breakout?

I put a Le Pera Bare Bones solo seat on my FXSB. I’m looking for a mini fender bib or small metal bracket to cover up the plastic bolt retainers. Everything I see, Mustang, says it won’t fit the Breakout. Anyone out there making small leather bibs or making powder coated small brackets to cover these up? If so, post a link please.

I’m looking for a chrome or black metal bracket like chrome one in the picture. Also, chrome or black mounting nuts. Both that will fit the Breakout.

Could you get a couple of either of these?

They'd be "separate" from each other, but might not look bad.

Haven't seen anything for sale ... so, make it.

Nothing available for my bike yet and found a cheap luggage rack I liked (but didn't fit) so made an adapter. You could do something like that out of steel, aluminum or maybe even plastic? Shape it however you want, drill holes for studs, spray it and be good to go. I'm talking about the plate that mates the rack to the seat mount studs in the pic. Nothing fancy and primary negatives are it takes time and isn't perfect - but works until a 'real' part comes around.

Another thought is to find a cheap part of some sort that mounts to that location and cut off the portion you need ... like the mounting portion of the luggage rack in the pic.

First of all, nothing fits the Breakout,until you try it and find that it does. Do you have a picture of what you're talking about on you're bike?

So where I am at now is I got two 5/16 x 1-1/2 in. Chrome washers and the mustang chrome mounting nuts. The washers will perfectly cover the white plastic bolt retention washers. Hopefully the Mustang nuts will fit the bolts. They fit my 2016 Street Glide special so I’m hopeful they will fit the Breakout.

This is what I came up with and think it looks great for mounting a solo seat on the Breakout. The seat is a Le Pera Bare Bones. I put two 5/16 x 1-1/2 in. Chrome washers on the studs, perfectly covering the plastic retaining washers. I then installed chrome Mustang Seat nuts. Just what w wanted. Very clean look.

I think I still have that small Mustang fender bib that came with my Solo seat for my Street Glide. I went with a full fender bib, PM me if you want it.
