Check, got it. But can't check the seat as of yet. Bike is at home- and I am overseas. First thing I do when I get back- no second thing. First thing is say hi to the wife! lol. Thanks for assist.

Chopper,
I just had these installed today. The photo is a pretty accurate representation of how they look. I wouldn't claim that they improve the looks of a SESG, but, for those of us with short legs (mine are barely a 30" inseam), probably good insurance against the inevitable drop. I know lots of bagger riders and everyone -- even the 6'4" guys –– drop it eventually. Physics is a bitch.

My stealer was easy. Had the bulletin, told me they were getting me the bumpers, I said I wanted the seat in case I want to put the guards on, they ordered the seat... bulletin does say for the stealer to try the bumpers 1st... someone here posted the bulletin when it first came out.
My seat sits in the garage as I too love my Corbin solo.

I agree, I have no intention to actually use the seat but I want what I paid for it'll look awesome on the Garage wall!

Should you decide to sell it later you wouldnt want to sell anybody the crap one?

Just picked up Chitlin's new TS SESG...manufactured 04/10/2010---how can you tell if new revised seat was installed at factory or if we got the old seat?

About time to bump this thread.

Got my -10A seat yesterday and they left the bumpers on. I pushed down on it all I could and the gap is gone for now...  time will tell.  :drink:

Picked mine up yesterday after new seat install.  Is it just me or is this new seat like a rock?  I only rode home about 4 miles, so today will tell for me as I am heading out for a charity run.

I felt the same... only a 12 mile ride home yesterday and I think I could feel the bumpers... edges of the seat are hard. Going to break it in today.

I would imagine that the seat, even the old seat, would feel harder with the bumpers installed.  The seat pan was flexing, which added to the cushioning effect.  Once you eliminate the ability of the seat pan to flex by bottoming it out on the bumpers, all that's left is whatever cushioning that's provided by the thin foam on the edges of the seat.  I think if it were me I'd try removing the bumpers after installing the "new" revised seat, and see how that affects not only the fit but the comfort.

I have the rear crash bars so I do not have bumpers I believe.  My edges are hard also.  New one definitely is not as comfy as the old one to me.

I can't wait to get my new one then because to me the original one I have with the gap is too soft and sits me too low.  Do you sit higher with the new revised seat without the gap?  I sure hope so.

The dealer left the bumpers on while filing enough off for the rear bag protectors to work. I need to find out whether I have the new seat.
