Default cracked seat base 07-12

hi, i have a 2011 fxdc.
the seat base has developed crack's in the plastic that mould's around the metal tongue that insert's under the front of the tank.
i weight 210 lb's.
mainly ride solo.
warrenty will not cover the seat.
harley davidson australia-new zealand claim, it is a fault that occur's during manufacture.
they are not willing to replace it.

they claim, several seat's have this problem, and if they were to replace the seat, it would happen again.
my question is: how many of you , if any have this problem?
thank's, grumpy.

I think that is B.S. Is there another dealer somewhere there you could get to? Id call HD and complain. That is a new bike. that seat should be covered.

Replaced my seat in the first month.
The original plastic is only for looks.
