2011 Seat report
« on: August 18, 2010, 07:34:21 AM »

Anyone have enough miles on a SESG2 to say whether the seat is good or bad?  Thinking of putting one on my 2010 after a 2500 mile ride to Sturgis has left me less than pleased with mine.

I have just over 1k on my new FLTRUSE. On my old FLTR I had a tallboy seat installed. I would say that for short distance this seat has been excellent. My longest run so far has been around 225 miles with the wife on the back. It was a hot day and we we both uncomfortable just a bit at the end of the ride. However, I don't know that it was the seats fault. I think it was more about the heat and the extra weight on the bike. I won't have anything more conclusive until I do an extended solo run. I'll keep you updated. My next long run will be Labor Day week.

So far I have 1500 miles on my FLHXSE2 with one trip about 300 miles.  I am loving the seat.  I ordered the backrest and need to put that on but other than that, I have no isues with the comfort.  
P.S.  I have only had the bike two weeks.

Part # of new seat 54181-11.  Was so impressed with the style, comfort & lack of tank gap issue during test ride @ Sturgis, I just ordered one to replace the peice of crap on my 2009.  Thought of getting a Corbin, but MoCo hit a homer with this one.  Dealer said I'll have it before the weekend.  Can't wait!

List of $384.99.  With a discount, I got out the door for $365.89 after paying Uncle Sam.  Much better than the $479+ I was going to drop on the Corbin Gambler.  IMHO - the MoCo seat looks & feels better than the Corbin.  Still pissed about the 2009 seat, but happy I found the 2011 MoCo seat before buying the Corbin!

I've had mine less than a week, but since I'm getting pretty close to the 1000 mile service I'd say the seat is a winner...

Great report on the 2011 seat! The backrest will be awsome for all who are buying one for the first time!

Good news here, the dealer is trying to do a warranty exchange for the 2011 seat in place of my defective 2010. I haven't ordered a backrest yet so that will match if they are successful. I guess I'll need to replace the 2010 passenger backrest but she said it's to low anyway......Hope they can get it done! :huepfenjump3:
