I'm removing the passenger seat on my bike and putting on a fender bib.  Keeping the front driver seat for now, eventually may want to change that.  We've seen the mess before, but now we are trying to clean it up.  I know some of you have already done this, although I couldn't find any info here on the site.  Specifically, where did you move that metal venty thing?  (what is it, anyway?)  And we are assuming we can lay the leather fender bib ontop of the wiring and one small connection.  Would we be assuming correctly?  Anything else we should know?  

We would be me, and my slippered husband in the background.  



Thanks in advance.   Cuz without you all, I'd have no clue.  

Thank you, Al.  Maybe you can tell me more about the sportster seat?  Do/did you find it comfortable?  And will a 2004+ sportster seat fit right on, without making more modifications?

I've heard of rotating the rectifier as well to make it fit between the rails there.

You could probably remove that wiring area too? Just drill a hole by the rectifier and then route the wiring into the fender there. I don't know the best way to keep it away from the tire... But it would keep you from having to put the bib "over" anything.
