Default What was the fix for the FLTRSE3 seat being short?

I have a used FLTRSE3 seat that I like a lot, it's getting pretty worn & I was looking for another one. Mine is one of the short ones so I made a little vinyl filler. Did they give you a new seat or just modify your original seat? I know they added A to the part# noting some kind of update,just wondering what they changed.

I got a replacement seat in 09, then another in in 10 that finally fixed it for good.

The MoCo's cheap fix was to get some rubber/plastic type spacers that were added to the frame to boost the seat forward. They were once avaiable via the dealership.

I tried them and didn't care for the lustlacker improvement way back then.

Since then I have used exclusively either my C&C Solo seat or SportsTouring seat which is light years better.

I'm looking to buy one, is there any way to figure out if it's the updated seat? Do either of you have one you're looking to sell or know someone who might? I'd prefer the updated seat but would consider both. Thanks for the quick replies.

Forgot about that fix, as I never did it. The 3rd seat was the charm for me. Bike is long gone now.
