Mustang Seat problem
Hey guys I have a Mustang touring seat 76033 on my new 2014 Street Glide Special. My brother has a 2014 Ultra Limited withe the same seat. Both seats have play in the front of the seat. When you stand over the bike and grab the nose of the seat it moves like an inch side to side in either direction. The front rubber stops underneath aren't even touching the frame. But when I sit on the seat its all good, it doesn't move. It looks like the receiver bracket on the seat is a little longer than the tongue. I called Mustang and talked to them, and they're not sure why it's doing that, but that it is the right seat for our year.
Any of you guys with 2014's having this problem? Any fixes? I really don't feel like wrapping a roll of duct tape around the tongue to try to make it work.
Thanks everybody!

I have a mustang super touring and it fits tight. If your seats are still with warranty you may want to consider sending them in to be repaired. I had a mustang once that the screw down bracket on the rear of the seat was out of place. Mustang makes good seats but they are not perfect. If the same bracket on yours is too far in it would pull the nose of the seat back which could result in a lose fit.

you do start with the seat 1-2 inch's to the rear and you have to push down on the middle of the front seat and slide it forward at the same time to get the tang on the frame pocket on the seat to engage not real easy to do the first couple of times but when you get it in it will not move

Thanks guys. I'm hitting the tang for sure. I can't push it in any farther cause it hits the tank. I also can't lift it up cause it's in the tang, when I move it side to side i hear it hit each side of the bracket. Heres a couple pics of the tang, and the marks the tang is making on the seat bracket. It looks like the tang is barely going in the brackets. i removed the scores next to the tang and on top where the dash is and it wont move. Looks like i might have to get the tank off to see what other screws are under holding the tang down. It seems that plate should move. Have any of ever had to move that tang? the brown part on the seat is dust thats collected, it shows that the tang is barely going in.I just think it's crazy that it's happening on my brother's bike too. Maybe the way the dealers adjusted it???
