Same issue here. I got the seat Friday and they are sending me a label to ship it back. I plan on doing a swap because I really liked the seat. Hopefully it works out the second time around.

I talked to Chuck today and he said they're making a new mold for the pans. Apparently it's only the 2012 models being affected.

If C&C wants to chime in they can explain it in detail.

But needless to say, they're working hard to get the right seats out to those of us having issues. They definitely stand behind their product.

Glad I found this thread. I JUST picked up my 12 SG and am looking for a solo seat.

On a side note, how far back and down do you think the C&C solo puts you? I need down and back bad. Feel like im sitting on the tank compared to the Corbin I had on my RKC.

Any updates on this seat fitment issue? I'm thinking hard about purchasing the solo seat for an 11 FLHX.

Appreciate any updates.

Thanks, I called them yesterday and was about to order one when the person I was talking with asked what seat I was on now. I told him I was using an HD signature solo seat. He mentioned that their seat will move me closer by 2 inches as there seat measure 18". I was concerned so I did not order it yet. Got home and measured the HD solo and it was 16" from the nose of the seat to were my @ss sits. I am going to call them again this morning. I took some pics with the tape measure and hopefully this person is not familiar with the HD solo with an 09 PN. He did mention that he never seen a solo seat with a built in backrest from HD. Well mine has one, so I hope this is a misunderstanding.

Update: I called Check back and it was a complete misunderstanding. He was thinking i had the Brawler seat. I ordered one and will get it on Monday the 29th.
