Default New Touring Seat Low

I received my new seat, #52164-10, yesterday from Chicago Harley. I was surprised to find no Grab Strap included. I called Chicago about this and was told thar the Grab Strap does not come with the seat. I have bought several HD seats both, Softail and Touring, and each and every one of them came with a Grab Strap.

If you ordered and received this seat did you receive a strap?

I have not had an opportunity to ride on the seat, yet. Hopefully, this weekend.

Did not recieve strap with mine. I took the strap off of my original seat the first day I had it. Makes removing the seat a PITA.

A post elsewhere says the original strap will still work with the new seat. For what its worth, the HD bulletin lists the Part Number for the strap, so I don't anticipate anyone will be getting one included with the seat.

Is the new seat more comfortable or just lower?

The new Strap is HD #51239-10. I believe I heard the old strap is just a bit snug, but it's o.k.

Is the chrome tab that attaches the seat to the rear fender already attached to the seat, or do I have to go buy a couple of flat head screws to attach the tab to the seat?

just got the updated stock seat-lower....never rode enough miles with the original seat to give a good call on whether it is more comfortable or not....updated seat is better than the stocker on my 2007 EG.....

Haven't heard of this seat. It does not show up on their website.
