Default Sidekick on a SG

Has anyone been able to mount a Sidekick on a SG and not have a gap between the seat and the console? I have wracked my brain trying to make this POS fit. I have one on my older RK, fits perfect. And yes, it is the correct seat, and yes I know about the adjustable tab at the rear fender. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I ordered one for my SG and when I received it and put it on there was a large gap between the nose of the seat and the tank console. Instead of trying to ship it back to the dealer for a replacement I decided to call the manufacturer. The seat is made by a company in California called High End Seats. High end Seats also produces the Danny Gray Seats. The guy that I spoke to there said that they knew there was a problem and that they were working to fix it. He said that they had to do some re-tooling of there facility and they would send me a replacement as soon as they got there problems worked out. I returned my seat to him and he returned a new seat to me in a little more than a week. I would call High End and tell them about your problem. If you try to return it to the dealer they may replace it with one that's old stock and would therefor have the same problem. Hope this helps.

I bought a sidekick for my fatboy. It looked cool but did not fit well at the nose.
Sure would not by another one.
