I would have thought Harley would have had these issues fixed before someone spends there hard working money buying a $30k+ bike. I bought my bike in the end of May 2010 and I have 2700 miles on it right now and I also have this seat problem. I took it to the dealer and they installed the bumpers but I still had the gap. They are now ordering a new seat. I might buy a solo seat but not sure which one to buy. My problem is I'm 5' 7'' and I do not want to make it taller. Anyone that has the short legs problem and has purchased an after market seat that is comfortable and looks good please let me know. Thanks

Well the dealer ordered the bumper kit for me.  Assuming that doesn't work I'll get the redesigned seat.  Anyone know if the new seat is longer or stiffer or both?

I find the seat fairly comfortable myself although I'm a little more forward and higher than my C&C solo.  I don't really like the style though, would prefer a stock Street Glide seat based upon appearance.

My personal preference is the Corbin solo seat. I have gone thru the paces, the new seat is no different than the old seat, and all the bumpers do is add support to the seat on the edges preventing the seat from sagging (as much).

.. the thing is I really like this seat. It is as comfortable as the sundowner I had my Road King

I agree with your statment totally!

Just talked to my dealer today, we are going to try and replace the 2010 bad (Sagging) seat with a 2011 seat. Looking at the 2011 seat there is a big difference...can't wait for feedback once we get a few 2011 owners on this new seat. Service manager said it may take a couple months to get it.......Hope this is a good decision.

Sounds like a better solution.

Doesn't the 2011's have a snake skin insert? Are they going to replace your passenger backrest so it matches?

I know the seat is different but I feel if I can get a good seat I'm $$$ ahead. I plan to buy a taller passenger backrest anyway...She says so
