Default trouble with Sundowner seat on my Street glide

When I bought my SD I noticed the nose of the seat did not cover the tank like the stock seat. (no big deal I thought) But after riding about an hr today I noticed the nose of the seat was was not touching the tank at all. It was sorta falling behind the tank.

I hope that makes sense....anyone else with that problem. I talked to MeanCity about it but he had no trouble with a SD on his SG!!!!

I have a Sundowner on mine and it fits great. May have a bad one or the wrong one?

mine is the same way. One thing I did was loosened the screw in the back and pushed the seat forward while tightening is back up and its better but there is still a small gap....

I just put mine on yesterday and noticed the same thing. I had a local dealer try a different one and it did the same thing.

Ride safe.

Had my SG sundowner seat and stock seatredone by mean city cycles, I had that problem on thestock seat, he recommended I try adjusting it by compressing the metal tounge. I have not tried it yet but it makes sense, it should at least helpthe seatfrom pulling away from the tank while sitting on it.
