Sundowner Seat Fit on Road King
I recently bought a Sundowner seat for my '06 Road King. I really like the feel of the seat and like the way I sit into it as opposed to on top. The only issue I have that there is a small gap between the nose of the seat and the tank console so the bottom is exposed and you can see the wiring coming out from underneath the console. I pushed the seat up as far as it could go but it doesn't help. Is this normal?

Not on my 05 RKC either.
Before I got the Sundowner I put a piece of thin black leather under the dash and under the front of the seat-never noticed the wires again.
It's like the wart on Aunt Mildred's chin- after a while you don't notice it.

RE: Sundowner Seat Fit on Road King
I have a small gap on my 06 Classic but I am using a Mustang. When I first put the seat on I noticed on the under side a little tag that said that the "dash may need adjusted for proper fit" . I have never tried to adjust it as the gap is insignificant to me but I thought I would throw it out there for you guys with a big crack.
Good Luck.

RE: Sundowner Seat Fit on Road King
I have an 06 RKClassic that I installed the Sundowner seat on ....it has the same issues, a little bit of the wiring from underneath the gas tank is visible in a gap between the front of the seat and the bottom of the tank. There was a thread a little while back concerning this issue and it seemed to vary, some guy's had no gap while other's did. Mine is not very big and does not bother me so I don't even notice it.
I think it is a result of differing tolerances during the manufacturing process, dont think MOCO will do anything about, I just got used to it.
