Default covering rear fender on fatboy w/solo seat?

i just bought a danny gray solo seat for my 06 fatboy, it looks killer and i got a sweet deal on ebay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/DANNY-GRAY-B...p2047675.l2557

my question is, what would you all recommend for covering up my rear fender where the pass seat usually goes? i have to cover it with something, since harley put that clear plastic on the top of the rear fender....

i called danny gray to see if they made a passenger pillion for this seat and they dont...

i was thinking just a rear fender bib like this one below, but wanted some opinions first from you guys

thanks

That plastic can be removed if you would like, its there to protect the paint from the pillion.

heres what i found that works pretty slick....remove the stock plastis film. use a hair dryer to warm it up, and go slow. nice and clean for solo rides. use GLAD PRESS AND SEAL when you want to go 2 up. easy on/off, protects the fender great. i also use it to cover the radio/cd on the bagger when i wash it. cool stuff....steve

Now that's a damn fine idea. I've been using a small black towel but I like this a lot.
