Google is your friend. I just googled ' 2021 Electra Glide Revival VIN' and found a few .

Your Google-Fu is impressive.

When inputting the VIN, they supposedly check locations too. It’s almost like they thought of this before putting a stupid regulation in place.

LOL. My local dealer told me today that all they need is VIN Number. BTW, try Surdyk, my friend ordered it for me. They didn't ask for VIN number. Fingers crossed.

Your local dealer is cooler than mine. Mine claims that they compare locations to where it was most recently purchased/serviced to make sure it’s legit.

I’ll give Surdyk a call in the morning.

They learned from the CVO side.

Put a tank lift kit from DK customs on it. I just added them to my 08 Streetglide and 19 Triglide that I swap several seats in between regularly.
This will allow for the tank to slide back to cover that gap as well as provide engine cooling and access to the heads for easier cleaning.

I’ll look into that! Thanks!

Ahhh. Good thinking. Make sure you get the deluxe kit that raises the front and back. Then just push the tank toward the seat. Or just get a bra.

Several options, and another one. You can get someone to redo that seat and extend the front piece and recover. Looks like you live in NC, so might talk to the guys at Mean City Cycles if they can do that. They are in Maiden, and should be a nice ride from you.
