See page 16 & 18 of this thread.....   http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=40248.225

And look at page 19 of that thread to see the stitch pattern that Jon had them use.........and it's in two different colors!

so what's the deal with the clutch?

[JCZ]

Seems that many of them have air in the lines. 

Mine was fine for the first twenty or thirty miles or so.  But at about fifty miles it started getting hard to shift or find neutral.  When I finally got off the highway and stopped, it didn't want to stop.....kept creeping forward to the point where when I grabbed the front brake it killed the motor.

Bled the clutch and it was all good.....for awhile.  Eventually, it started doing it again the next day.  Was at Jim's for the first service and he bled it.....over and over and over.  It would get to where it appears like it's completly bled and when you're just about ready to stop.....then more air bubbles in there.  It took awhile.  Now it shifts fine and neutral is like hot butter.

My seat was sagging so much, it would no longer stay hooked on the front tab. My dealer called "Tech Services" who told him that this was the first such problem they'd heard of. I have forwarded this thread and the seat specific thread to my dealer.

What was very cool, was that my service writer called to ask me if I wanted another SESG seat or some other Harley seat instead. I asked for another SESG seat. I do think that's a great offer and very good service. If I have another seat problem with the replacement, I may take them up on the offer.

Foggy headlight (dealer replaced under warranty)
Seat-tank gap (can't get no satisfaction from either HD or local - I ordered and paid for new HD seat yesterday)
High Oil Pressure (in shop for 8 days - replaced cam plate under warranty)

Just added the FatShotz SE pipes - great sound now but $550 poorer.......

I had the seat gap issue...about maybe 3/4"...he move the tang on the back of the seat back about 1/2" which forced the seat more into the tank tab.  Cleared up the seat gap issue.  The dealer told me even though it can be a permanent fix, they will do to my bike whatever the MoCo says to do once they come out with a solution.  (If they do, that is.)

I saw this seat on a 2010 SG at the dealer and sat on it and liked it. My dealer said it should fit my 2009 Roadking. So I came here to see if  anybody had commented on comfort and I find this thread. So despite the gap is it more comfortable than most stock Harley seats or should I save for a corbin?? Thanks!

[JCZ]

It's more comfortable than any other HD stock seat that I've ever rode.  I posted that in one of my first ride reports.  I still went with Corbin right away, so didn't have time for my seat to flex.

[miker]

It will flex. I had my HD saddle off and if you are gravitationally gifted as I am, you will see where it flexed and rubbed.

By far the most comfy HD seat yet but a weak seat pan is the issue.

If could trust corbin I would order one.  If you are close like JC to sit there and bird dog em, more power to ya. 

They are rigid pan seats with rubber stands off that only rub where they are supposed to, the top of the frame rails.

I may break down and get one...I'll wait til JC is there gettin the fittin done on Terri's new SESG maybe..

I ordered a Corbin from HD-Dude and I got it in 2 weeks. Fit was good and quality was good. It went back for an adjustment because I am vertically challenged, but other than that the seat was fine. If it fit my height better there would have been no reason to send it back.

They spoiled me years ago with great product and service...the last time, not so much..maybe ordering through Jim will help...
Shake that money tree babe!
