I have a 03 BA that has a gunfighter seat, so I got the solo seat adapter from Fast Eddy to replace the stock post so I can swap out the seats easily. I installed the adapter and seats and all works great, but my question is when I pull the pillion and just have the solo seat on, the bolt/adapter is exposed and kind of "fugly" This is a minor cosmetic thing and can live with the bolt when I have just the solo seat on, but was wondering what others have done to hide or dress this up and is there a way to do this other than putting on a fender rack?

It only takes a few seconds to change out. when you put the pillion back on you put the fugly screw back in. 05 speedmaster - 1100cc, 11:1 racing pistons, Carillo rods, thunderbike cams, ported and polished head, 2mm over intake and exhaust valves, Barnett kevlar clutch, scepter pipes, oversize manifolds, 45mm HSR's, TTP stage 4 firestarter

After posting this thread, I searched online and found a few options like that. And it will only take a few seconds to change. Thanks.

Will definitely pick up one of these. It's a cool little detail to add.

Try to take the seat off at night in the rain with no Phillips driver and if you hafta peepee it's even worse. 2005 Model . Two Fast Eddy stickers , a bell and a clock . She's Lola .
