This surprises me. My 04 FXD didn't, my 02 Road King didn't and my 05 Ultra was rub free. Guess I will get some 3M film to stop the rub.

Personally I don't care what rubs go on under my seat but I don't ever plan on changing my seat.

If I did change my seat to some seat which exposed the scufs on the tank paint, I suppose then it would **** me off to see the scuffs.

I hear the CVO models have the 3M protection film in several spots due to paint rub.
