I turned my tins in to get painted and the rear fender was returned to me without the bolt/nut used to secure the passenger seat down to the fender. Anyone have any of these laying around that they don't need? Or know if I can order them from the dealer?

You didn't take the inner fender rail off before sending it to paint? That is what the seat bolt is tacked to. 8)

If they cut it off, then you can go to a better design seat anchor by JB-Welding a nut to the fender rail and using a thumb-screw bolt like HD uses to hold the seat down. 8)

You know what Spike? I went to the VTX Tech site and looked up the rear fender assembly and just realized that the bolt in indeed on the fender rail, and yes, I removed it before sending the fender away. My mistake - I thought I was going crazy for a second - sorry for the silly question.

That mod looks neat - maybe I'll do that since I have the fender off and the rail removed.

Thanks SPike -
