The fenderbib is on there when the jumper is off. If you want the wife or GF to ride the jumper, remove the fenderbib. Takes 2 minutes to swap out. I do it all the time.

Remove bib, install jumper. And paint will be okay without plastic? Or put some protective layer under jumper?

leave the plastic on.. the fender bib will sit on top of the plastic and hide it like such:



then when you want to put the other seat on, remove the fender bib, and put the seat on...the plastic stays put. no problemo

Came with the Motherwell Luggage Rack I ordered.. funny story about that.. They (MotherWell) give you two options.. you can buy the luggage rack without the black hardware, or you can pay $12-15 more and get the hardware... I chose the one WITHOUT the hardware, as i figured the stock stuff would be good enough..


..then i go to throw out the box, and i hear something rattling around in the bottom of the box, and low-and-behold..there's a set of the black hardware in there. Lucky me.

If you're gonna keep the Harley seat, then the harley one will work best.. generally seat companies will sell them to match their seats.. i.e Mustang makes one to match Mustang seats (since it's a different mounting style)...

Mustang makes some nice ones though..but off the top of my head, I don't know if you can run a Mustang bib with a Harley seat, just because of the mounting styles, ya know?
TimberWolf Leather makes some good looking ones too, and those look like they would work with the stock seat

http://www.timberwolfleather.com/cat...ENDER-BIBS.htm

basically just type "Harley Fender Bib" in to Google and see what comes up.

edit: Coincidentally..now that i'm looking... I really want this one:

haha..so..anyone want to buy a Harley Fender Bib

Thanks. I have the Timberwolf one on its way. Also ordered the HOGRIDA license plate bracket too. Would like to find the black seat screws. If anyone can find them please post.

I took the plastic off and when I use the passenger seat I just leave the HD bib on to protect the paint.

I have that bib on my Lo. You will have to trim the edges of the clear film on the fender with that bib though because it is not wide enough to cover it completely. I trimmed about an inch off each side.
