This can't be right....I recently moved from the UK to the US, but couldn't bring my 06 America with me. However I did bring my touring (dual) seat because I intended buying another America 'over here'. Well I have, only to find that I can't use the seat because I can't buy the seat mount on it's own (it's the same on all dual seat models). The local dealer wants $300 for a new seat just to get the bracket.....

Do not fret! All you need to spend is $8.95 to get Gunfighter/Touring Solo Seat Adapter from FastEddy. BTW... Welcome! Soren

Dang, Soren beat me to it! Welcome to the site!
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

I ordered the "bayonet post" (I think thats what you are speaking of) from the dealer. I remember he had to look on the Speedmaster fender page of the micro fiche.

Thanks Lonzo
I did try that approach but my local dealer wouldn't spend the time looking unless I had the VIN for the bike it would fit!
I placed an order with Fast Eddy now so hopefully that is work

That's funny since neither the fender or seats have changed since day one.

I must be an idiot. The bolt arrived yesterday and a quick look at it made me wonder, how do I install it (with those plastic washers an all)? It ain't easy being stupid you know!
