Default Roadglide seat
Do all roadglide seats rub the top of the saddle bags or is it just mine?

Mine never rubbed the top of the saddlebag. The tank, yes! But, not saddlebags. Then again, those seats are pretty flimsy, which can flex down to the bags. Maybe that's why I went with a Corbin seat.

My seat rubs along the front inside lips of the saddle bags. I put some 3M clear film over the areas after touch-up and this solved it. Also did the same 3M treatment on the tank and the rear fender where slight contact is made.

Mine are close but don't rub the bags but on the tank. I had to move one bag back they were crooked I thought it was the pipe at first.
