RE: Really wanted to run solo mustang seat, fender scratched
My bike has the same problem. What is the deal with the MOCO that they would let this happen to their bikes? A friend took his seat of his Heritage Softail and lo and behold...there was a plastic cover on the fender and it wasn't scratched. Why can't they do the same on the RK?
I've buffed mine a couple of times and then decided that until I heard a better solution I would just ride it the way it is. The Motherwell rack adds enough chrome to the fender that no one notices the paint.

My SE Fat Boy had plastic under the seat, I switched to a Danny Gray seat and didn't have a problem peeling the plastic off. My Ultra didn't have the protective film. I can see them not doing it on an Ultra or Classic most people will never take the tour pac off. But a RK or a Street Glide should have a film, so many people switch to a solo seat. Someone mentioned wet sanding....you've got to know what your doing or you'll burn right through the clear coat!!

I believe dealers must be the culprits when it comes to scratching these rear fenders. If they are in a hurry - removeing the seat by pulling it will almost certainly result in a scratched rear fender. And, it's never noticed when you pick up the bike - who's gonna look under the seat for a scratch? Been there - done that. Scratch compliments of Battlefield Harley, Gettysburg PA.

Here's a couple of pic's of the full length Mustang seat bib on my Street Glide. It's shown with the Sundowner Solo from HD.
The end that goes to the seat end actually extends under the bracket and seat.
Not sure how it works with one of the Mustang seats but I wish I could have had it run over the bracket instead of under it
The jury is still out on if I'm 100% happy with it even though the piece itself is of very high quality.
