Default 2015Heated RG Ultra CVO seat on 15 RGS?

I have a 2015 RGS with the adjustable rider backrest. I got a great deal (if it fits) on a 2015 CVO RG Ultra heated seat. I Tried installing the seat on my bike but it seems impossible. Once I slip the metal tab into the slot in front of the seat i cannot get the rear of the seat to sit flat on the frame. I am wondering if the adjustable backrest is not compatible with the heated CVO seat. Anyone have any ideas?

I think those CVO seats you can’t use the standard back rest?? Google CVO backrest and there is a company making them exclusive for that seat. I was thinking of swapping my Corbin for one but not having the backrest was somewhat of a deal breaker

I haven’t even been able to get the seat to sit properly. The back of it sits up off the frame about 3 inches. I’m thinking the adjustable backrest mount may be incompatible.

I'm not certain of the adjustable backrest but the standard backrest works fine with the CVO heated seat.

Since the adjustable and non-adjustable are designed to go into the same space you would think it would fine. Guess not?
