Welcome back to the site.  I hope you had a good homecoming and a good Christmas with the family.  Hope you are enjoying your bike.  I still do not have one yet, but AAFES is supposed to have more in Jan.  I hope to get one before I go on R&R in Feb.  Time to put up some pictures and show the rest of us what you've been up to.

But least you have a good seat for the new ride:huepfenlol2:

That means about two months.  Gotta be able to understand MoCo speak.

The permanent solution is either a Corbin or C&C seat.

Don't forget Mustang seats. Great seats.

I suggest the C &C !!!

Has anyone tried putting a couple "bumpers" between the bottom of the seat pan and the frame? I just went to "visit" my new CVO Street Glide and pulled "up" on the bottom of the seat an tried to stick a finger between the seat pan and frame on each side.  The Gap Disapeared before my eyes.

Talked to my dealer again no response from Harley support yet? That was Monday and he was going to follow up and contact me. Big Surprise my phone still isnt ringing!

I think that's why some call it a "hammock" seat, since the pan is so flimsy it works like a hammock.  I think I suggested trying bumpers back in the SERG forum when they were all talking about this same seat problem, but have no idea if anyone ever tried it.  Just make sure the bumpers contact the frame and not any other parts like the ECM.

"the Hammock" is a completely different Harley production touring seat. They are not referencing the CVO seat. When replacing the seat with the stock Street Glide seat you can plainly see the seat on the CVO was made 2 inches shorter than the others.

Pictures indicating this are earlier in this topic

Moved to its own post.

A 1000 miles on the SESG with the stock seat and I noticed something: The seat rubs the corner of the saddle bag lid and there is wear showing. Yup, I'm a bulky guy but I'm wondering from all y'all the following:
 - For those of you that have the stock seat (even the SERG), does the seat rub the saddlebag lid corner or is it is just hefty me?
 - for those of you with the C&C seat, does your seat rub? What is the width in inches of your new seat? I'm thinking between the 2 issues of saddle bag lid rub and the seat gap, I'm going with the C&C, but wonder if I have to give up on width to prevent rub.

My riding comfort is proportional to seat width and I'd hate to give it up. How do the Ultra's manage with a wider seat? Is bag lid rub a common issue?

I don't know what you consider bulky, but I'm 6'4" and just over 3 bucks in weight and not getting seat rubbing on either saddle bag lid....so not sure why you are. 

[Mr. Wizard]

This may be of no help but I'm 195. The only rub I get is when I try to open the lid on the right side. Can't open it without rubbing the seat. Left side has just enough clearance to open.

Don't have enough milk money right now to purchase a new seat but I do love the red flame design above.

Found a bracket....wonder if this will work

Went to the Cleveland bike show this weekend. Harley had a new SESG on display. Same gap and problem. The Harley rep looked at me like I had a third eye in my forehead when I asked him about this issue. NO HELP!! On another note, BOY is this bike screwed up!!! Scuffed, scratched, generally all mared up. It was so bad, you could not see any metal flake in the paint anywhere! So much for the Rum color inside.

[ScreaminStreetGlide]

Can someone with a longer bracket chime in on whether or not this fixes the problem......or does it just keep getting worse?

The bike was in rough shape here at the DC show as well, I could only see it getting worse down the road..

not sure if it was the same bike up here a couple of weeks back, it was scuffed , chipped , etc.
I am waiting on delivery on my SESG and wondering if the seat issue is a safety concern, sounds like the front pulls out of it's bracket, am I picturing this right?
