Default 2-up seat on my Nightster tips to keep from scuffing fender

Im puttting a 2-up seat on my Nightster for the Miracle Ride here in Indiana next weekend. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips to keep the seat from scuffing up my fender. Thanks

Either put some "mole hair" on the bottom of the seat, or 3M clear covering on the fender.....Or both.

I also picked up a little rubber gasket to use a washer between the fender and where you screw the seat down.

I put some rtv silicone sealant on the bottom of the metal pieces. It's easy to apply, dries fast and peels off very easily with just using your fingers if you want.
