Sidekick seat issues
I just put a side kick seat on my 09 softail custom but for some reason it fits so tight up by the tank It seems I really have to force it on just doesn't seem right .

I don't know but it's almost like I have to press down on the front of the seat and slide it forward to try and lock the front tab in and after several trys I can get it but shouldn't be this hard I wonder if the leather strap that goes down the middle of the tank is making the seat to tight in the front

I had a custom Sidekick on my 09 Softail Custom and I remember it fitting pretty snug there too. I had to give it some downward pressure to fit into place but once there seemed to fit right. I had a chrome tank panel too, didn't crush or scratch it. I was actually happy to have it fit without any slop. I recently put one of the new Sundowner seats on my Heritage and the tongue kept slipping out of the mounting slot. That one's going back as a warrantee issue. I generally prefer my seat to stay on the bike while riding. (o:
This was it on the original tank panel.
