The 2009 P&A catalog shows a Sidekick two-up seat for the 2008 Street Glide, previously available only for 2007 and earlier models, and I ordered it from my dealer. I received it yesterday, and was disappointed to see that it didn't fit so well. There was a 3/4 inch gap at the front of the seat, exposing the end of the console and the tank underneath. Took it back for a refund.

Does the Street Glide have a shorter console than other touring models? That's the only explanation I can imagine — maybe it works better on a Road King or Ultra.

 

Nope. The Street Glide, like the Road King, actually has a longer console than Electra Glides, Road Glides, etc. Street Glide and Road King seats tend to have a shorter nose that does not go as far up the tank console as do the seats for other Touring models. It's unfortunate it didn't fit you.

 

I tried this seat a couple of weeks ago for my 2009 Streetglide and it wouldn't reach the console either. The closest I could get it was about 1/2". Returned it and I'm disappointed in HD for not addressing this potential widespread issue. I can't believe they don't know. So a called them and told em.

 

I put a 08 SE Road King seat with the reptile in lay on my 08 SG. Fits perfect. Old lady likes the ride better than the stock SG seat. The passager area is flatter than the SG seat.

 

I have a Sidekick seat for my 03 EGC and it has that same problem. Never did fit right up against the console, always had about a 1/4" gap.
