Just got my bike back from painter where it got a Woody's fairing and stretched CVO style hard saddlebags. Friend told me when I picked up the bike that I had to push the corner of my seat out of the way in order to open the lids on my bags. Since having the stock RKC bags on there before I never noticed how wide the Sundowner seat is.

So my question is does anyone know of a seat that isn't as wide that would work on my bike? I'm 6'4, 330lbs so need to have comfort and it needs to work with the HD adjustable rider backrest. Do other guys with stock hard bags have this issue? Maybe it's because these are aftermarket bags?

Thanks in advance for help and opinions.

 

must be your bags.

can you space out the bag mounts?

I've run into this. Like Mike mentioned, get some spacers and longer bolts for the bag mounts. Having the bags spaced out a bit also makes the bike look a little wider as well.

Didn't have that problem with my stock bags and Sundowner seat

 

Get the seat shaved a little bit.

 

I'm guessing an upholsterer can do that?

 

Mean City Cycles may be able to help......

 

Correct an upholsterer can do that.

 

When I read the title I immediately thought... "Seat too wide? Nah, *** too narrow." Of course, then I saw 6'4" 330lbs. Likely not "*** too narrow".

 

LOL I'm guessing by your username you can relate to my problem. LOL
