Anybody else have this issue?  I just bought a 2010 SESG and love it.  However, as the seat has gotten more accustomed to me, it is inching away from the CVO emblem on my tank, leaving about an inch of open space that looks bad.  HD dealer said they had gotten the same feedback from others, but not sure how Harley is going to address it.  I paid a lot of $$ for this bad boy, and this small "blemish" is taking away from the overall beauty of the bike.  Suggestions?

Grinner,
I moved this to the SESG board so others would be aware and also comment if they are having this problem w/their SESG. Last year on the SERG there was this exact same problem and there are a couple threads in that board about them. I hope this problem isn't sticking it's ugly head out on the SESG also, but since they share the same fender (rear end) it might possibly be showing up.

 
Ride Safe,

I've got the same issue. More obvious from the saddle than standing by the bike. When I'm in for my 1K, I'll address it with the dealer.

This issue is not just related to the SESG I have the same problem with the seat on my SERG. I pointed it out to the dealer when I took delivery of the bike. Did not hear anything they said they would look into it. It has been about 3 months and yesterday i got word from the dealer that they were going to replace the seat. They did not say if warranty or if they were going to cover it. Doesn't matter to me just want it replaced.

If this is the same problem as the 09 SERG, then replacing the seat is not a fix.

You can put a longer tab on but that did not work for me because it was pushing back so hard on the mounting point where you screw it to the fender it bent the fender around the female insert that is in the rear fender.This is on my 09 SE Road Glide. i went with a 09 Street Glide seat (non SE seat) and the fit is great, about an inch over the counsel (no gap) the seat looks better than the SE seat. I know it sucks to spend that much money and have to fix it yourself but what do you do.  A new seat will do the same thing, i had two. Both sucked.

 Have the same problem with mine. Had the dealer order a new seat before I took it off the floor.You could see the gap without sitting on it The new seat is in but I haven't seen it yet. ill see it this weekend. My dealer didn't put up much of a fuss,but if this one is the same way I expect the  [this is normal answer] . I don't think Ill even let them switch it out if it has the same problem. I took the seat off and, it looks kinda CHEAP. The pan is so soft that it just settles into the bike

This sounds like you made the tab too long where it was actually tensioned against the bracket and the fender, causing it to bend.

I've got almost 2K on mine since the change and I dont have that problem.

just got back from the dealer, They changed out the seat. This is what I got. I think I like the 1.5 inch gap better.

Well poop. That's what I have now...

I wonder that MoCo is not able to learn anything about the 09 SERG seat problem. Or dont they want to?
Have ordered a 2010 FLHXSE. Hope that the export version is better!

It looks to me that the MOCO could have made the dash panel a bit longer to tuck under the seat a bit more.  30+ K and we are talking about this, HD needs to step it up!
