sundowner seat
Picked up a new sundowner seat for my 06 FXSTI,seems like the seat has a lot of play when I am not on it.Front can be pulled a little even though it is under the frame and the back does'nt seem very tight using the mounting screw that came with the seat.Any input would be aprreciated.Thanks for any help

RE: sundowner seat
mine was the same mate
i put the sundowner on the 06 night train and was very annoyed with the fit at the front
same as you i could push it up and down alot when not on it and it seemed to sit a lot higher off the tank than it should have
dont really know what can be done about it though i ended up taping a thick washer on the front lug to hold seat down a bit more
i since got it altered at a motor trimmer though
and now
