Another pic.

I looked at my seat and it is nowhere near the saddlebag,1/4 - 1/2 inch space. 

[mrdinny]

just looked at mine and there must be close to two inches of gap

[mrdinny]

sorry, I didn't mean to lie to ya earlier. I took a closer look. It is still not close to touching but theres only about a 1/2 to 3/4

[CruisinEagle]

mrdinny and Hawg; do you have the re-designed/updated seat?

[dustingaunder]

I've got plenty of room on mine too.  I don't have the new seat, but I do have the bumpers.

[trwtow]

just went out and checked mine no bumpers has half inch gap on each side 800 miles with my 250# you def hav a warranty claim

[CruisinEagle]

Even if I don`t have the seat/tank gap problem (yet) I do have the seat/lid bag (and side cover) rubbing problem. I just informed my dealer about this and he accepted to order the new updated seat for my bike under warranty. I really hope this will solve the problem as I haven`t heard of anyone having the rubbing issue with the new seat.

I dont use the seat due to the gap issues but on my Sundowner there is over an inch of space at the closest point.

The dealer likely has one in stock you could have him install as a comparison. If that seat has the appropriate gap it would (should) be obvious they need to replace it for you?

The dealer has accepted to replace the seat. I just hope this will result in the gap needed to avoid rubbing. If not I would probably have to space out the saddlebag mount or get a totally different seat. Are you happy with the Sundowner? Does it look alright on the bike?

We ride mostly 2 up with 3,000 miles on the seat and we are happy with it.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so here is a photo? just

Still considering a Corbin Solo for myself? Really like JCZ's with the flame stitching!
Still haggling with the MOCO over the seat just because I paid for it to fit!

When I do an online search for this seat "Part" No 51995-10A  I find nothing from any supplier.  Would this seat be unavailable now due to an upgrade? or ??  It supprises me as I can find all other parts I have searched for in the past.

mrdinny and Hawg; do you have the re-designed/updated seat?

Mine is the not the re-designed seat, from what I am reading even the re-designed seat hasn't corrected the problems fully, therefore Corbin will be my saddle in the near future.

I believe that the redesigned seat is not available for sale, it may be at some point in the future? They however have thousands of them to replace on the 2009 SERG and 2010 SESG before they probably offer it as sale item?

Your seat looks very comfy for the passenger. I`ll see how the redesigned seat works out before I consider a different seat. I have already ordered a standard height sissy bar, larger backrest pad and passenger footboards with adjustable mounts. Hope wife will be pleased with this configuration....
