 >:( :soapbox:
It is so far from acceptable that if it wasn't the same as mine I'd be lauaghing my arse off. My dealer got MoCo to replace the seat on my 2010 FLHXSE with a new stock seat (unrevised) and guess what, same gap after 50 miles!  I gave up and got a Corbin Solo plus pillion. Looks great. Now I am going to deman my dealer gets me a revised seat, no bumpers for me. I'll post their response.

Does anybody know whether the new revised seat is on the production line?

Try this -push down in the middle of your seat and pull up on the front, if your seat is as bad as mine the front of the seat will pull out of the front tab with very little effort and I can put it back in the tab as well without removing the rear bolt. What a piece of CRAP this seat is I wouldn't put this on a go-cart never mind a $35,000 dollar motorcycle. I will be showing this to my dealer very soon, I discovered this by accident today. >:(

Hawg not trying to defend the MOCO but my new revised replacement seat along with the bumpers seems to fit pretty snug so far.

My $16,000 90 Heritage seat actually had metal in the frame.  :2vrolijk_21: they don't make them like they use to. >:(

Another angle.

If it stays there my answer would be yes, However I do not want the bumpers on my bike as they may interfere with my other seats already purchased. I hope the gap does not reappear? The touring seats and seat from the stock Street Glide overlap the chrome dash by 1" or so

I totally agree with Hawg, what a piece of CRAP this seat is!!!  I thought that since the day I rode it home, the damn gap, no support in the seat, plus it's too damn low for anyone 6' or taller.  Maybe it's a ploy to get us that spend the money on CVOs to spend more money on another seat?!  They figure we have money to burn so they give us a crappy seat like this so we will buy another.

I looked down this evening while riding and I'm starting to get more and more gap the more I ride.  I've got the bumpers so if it gets any worse I'll be looking for them to buy me a new seat.
