Well went to the dealer (first50 miles in the rain) and received the "New revised seat" and a bike wash

Improved over the original kind of

Now there is no gap at the console although it still does not overlap the chrome. So you can still see the rubber trim sticking out. If I remove the console and cut back the rubber trim a little that will fix that. sitting on the seat 130 miles coming home no visible gap "yeah"! Thats the good news.

While they focused on the nose they neglected the sides I'm only 175 and when I sit on the seat it contacts the left saddlebag lid

WTF over?

The original had about a 1/2" gap so get some lose some?
Pretty fed up at this point!

Guess I'll sell the seat and buy the Corbin Solo for myself and use the Sundowner 2 up.

The Bride says the new seat is better in theback than the original but all in all not near as comfortable to her as the Sundowner. So to eliminate the squeak in the back seat its the Sundowner 2 up.

Perhaps the Corbin dual heated touring???

Racer "Apparently if you have a Gap you have the original seat and if the gap is missing on the left saddlebag you have the New seat"

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?

Yes. I had that issue and the seat started rubbing the corners of the bags. Moco installed spacers and as of now it is taking care of both issues.

Just put the Corbin Hollywood Solo on. Fits fine and looks good.
Never bothered with the dealer (gap issue here too). Not good for my blood pressure or wallet.

I agree. i had the origianl seat with the bumper fix. Was ok for about 1500 KMs, then it started showing a gap again. Was just at a dealer and saw his last FLHXSE he'll get.. it was a Tequilla Sunrise and just leaning on the seat showed the gap. I really don't think the issue is fixed at the plant yet.

Anyway... mine is solved... no thanks to H-D (though my dealer tried and empathises with me... so i don't blame him)

Getting my 3rd (and last) new seat tomorrow. I agree, I don't believe that they have fixed the problem with the seat yet. I would go with a different seat, but like the configuration of the current seat the the SESG backrest, don't know what I'll do if and when this seat seperates from the tank $:-\$

I'm open to suggestions for replacements, but not interested in a solo, and need something that will work with my drivers backrest.

My dealer modified the chrome "tang" on the back of the seat so it sticks out about an extra 3/4", which forces the seat further up on the tank. After doing that and installation of the bumpers, I have no gap issues whatsoever.

I'm thinking I may have to try that one. Thanks for the tip.

red devil; can you post a pic or tell me about the dealer modification that was done? i just had my 1000 mile
checkup and had mentioned the seat issue 6 weeks prior to my dealer, but they say they have to do the bumpers
first.(which were not ordered and i still have to go back when they come in)i even sent them the service bulletin...

thank
