Default Night Train seat fix?

The OEM Badlander seat on my '09 Night Train has some "slack" in it at the front tab. Anyone have a fix for this? Thanks!!!

I had that after mine had been in for some work to be done on it, when i checked it i found that the front of the seat hadn't been slotted in properly, took it off and refitted it, and it was fine after that.

Thanks for the info! What did you use to bend the tab with, it's thick!

They're all like that--everyone that I have had, and I'm on my 18th Harley. I wouldn't bend the tab--if it really bothers you, maybe a dab of JB weld on the seat tab just to thicken it up & make it feel tighter.
