Default New Touring Seat Low

I received my new seat, #52164-10, yesterday from Chicago Harley. I was surprised to find no Grab Strap included. I called Chicago about this and was told thar the Grab Strap does not come with the seat. I have bought several HD seats both, Softail and Touring, and each and every one of them came with a Grab Strap.

If you ordered and received this seat did you receive a strap?

I have not had an opportunity to ride on the seat, yet. Hopefully, this weekend.

Did not recieve strap with mine. I took the strap off of my original seat the first day I had it. Makes removing the seat a PITA.

A post elsewhere says the original strap will still work with the new seat. For what its worth, the HD bulletin lists the Part Number for the strap, so I don't anticipate anyone will be getting one included with the seat.

Is the new seat more comfortable or just lower?

The new Strap is HD #51239-10. I believe I heard the old strap is just a bit snug, but it's o.k.

Is the chrome tab that attaches the seat to the rear fender already attached to the seat, or do I have to go buy a couple of flat head screws to attach the tab to the seat?

Haven't heard of this seat. It does not show up on their website.
