I had the "New Improved seat" with bumpers installed. It corrected the gap issue by supporting the edges of the flimsy stock seat pan, however this now made the seat uncomfortable. What they install is a hard plastic strip on the frame under the seat thereby not allowing the seat to sink when you sit on it. With the minimal padding they put in these seats I now get a sore arse so, off it came and on went the Corbin. The new seat itself looks exactly the same as the old, not sure what the changes were.
I now have the bumpers and a new stock seat to take up space in my garage.

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
brian cvo

Brian,
The tech drilled an extra hole in the tang.

500 miles and no issue with the bumpers and re-designed seat.

Just got back from Sturgis & test road a new CVO StreetGlide.  Seat is awesome!  Super comfortable, cool custom look & doesn't seem to have the tank gap problems.  Guy @ the show took the seat off for me to check out the underside.  New base with lot's of structure!  Wouldn't even think of getting a Corbin for the 2011 as it would be a down grade to the stock seat.  Thinking of buying a new bike because of all the improvements.  The new sound system is also really awesome.  Does anyone know if I can put the 2011 seat on my 2009?  I forgot to ask when I was there.

Out and back to Sturgis on the stock "A" seat without the bumpers.  There's a small gap still between the seat and tank when I'm on the bike, but I think I can live with it.  I was really comfortable on that seat, more so than any other seat I have owned

Finally...

"Upgraded" seat for 2010 no better than the original. Still about a 3/4-1" gap. I swapped out for a stock 2009 Ultra seat, but waaaaay to big. Killed the clean line of the bike, so back to the original, which I really like. Spoke w/HD and nothing more they would do. Dealer wouldn't do the bumper fix under warranty since I installed the bag guards. Can't press to much since I use a local dealer after buying the bike 250 miles from home. However, they gave me a set of the bumpers. I notched the bumpers to allow the bag guard to fit over, and the gap is gone. Rode about 200 miles this past Sunday and still no gap. To play it safe I cut a piece of heavy leather to fit under the front of the seat and slid up about 1/2 under the console. Velcro strip secures to the console mount to hold in place. Even if a small gap should reappear over time, it won't be noticeable.

Shouldn't have to go through this with these bikes, but kinda satisfying when you solve the problem.

Sold mine and ordered a Corbin looks like the 2011 seat fits fine may want to see if your selling dealer can get it swapped out for you?

I just installed the 2011 SESG seat on my 2010 SESG and it looks and feels great.  No tank seperation/flex at all.  I had to remove the seat bumpers that I had as part of the 2010 seat fix.  Good seat and nice lines-IMO.

Love to see a picture.  What was the cost?  Looking forward to doing this to mine over the winter.

Looks like they don't make a solo with a matching removable passenger pillion.....
