07 SEUC Backrest???
« on: December 07, 2006, 01:27:14 AM »

Hey 07 SEUC owners,
  Does the passenger backrest on the sides look like it has pleats (wrinkles ) in the armrests?
  I have seen several that have these unsightly wrinkles in the side of the passenger backrest (arms). The pics on the HD website of the SEUC'S
do not have these wrinkles. They are nice and smooth and pretty like my 06. And other Ultras that I have seen.
  It is something that I will mention to my dealer, and try to make them fix
when I do my PDI. Should be around Jan 1.
  Just wondered if anyone else has noticed these wrinkles, and has anyone asked their dealer about fixing them?
  Kinda unsightly on a 35K scoot IMHO!

Jester ..... I have them on my 06 SEUC and it appears that many other owners do as well. I believe that it is an inherent trait of the leather (at least MOCO would have us believe that) and something that varies in intensity depending on conditions (weather, moisture, humidity etc....). I have gotten used to them as I have to my own wrinkles that have appeared over time.

Leather, you mean pleather, the tour pack is not 100% Leather, alot of it is fake.

I had the waves on my '06 SE Ultra and just picked up my '07 SE Ultra yesterday and it has the same waves.  Thinking about relacing the stock Tour Pack with a King Tour Pack!

ah. . . . (as RedDevil said) it's leather, animal skin - it's going to get wet, shrink, expand, etc., etc. -

My '06 melon never had any wrinkles in the pleather / leather tour pak (or on the passenger arm rests for that matter).

Liberal Use of the Harley gooey leather stuff. Let it soak a few minutes and wipe it off. I experimented with it on the upper TP section, and material pulled tight after a few warmer days. Wipe it down if in the sun, or it will get drippy.   Am doing same now with lower TP section to see if that does it. Looks like it will.

Red,

 [smiley=nixweiss.gif] Don't necessariely want to disagree with you, but the tour pack is not 100% leather.  I just went out & checked my '07 and it is a combination of leather and pleather...synthetic leather.  The wavy stuff is not real leather.  Open your tour pack up and look between the inner liner and the seam several inches below the inner lip and you will see & feel the synthetic stuff.

The wavy stuff straightens out over 65 MPH!!!!!!!  Over a 100 MPH it starts to get wavy the opposite way!!!!!  In any case, ride on!!!!!!
