Has anyone had any issues with the fitment of the seats on the Xbs's ? I just got the streetfighter seat for my 12S and the front of it does not seem to fit very well, seems loose I know that is how they are but has any one come up with a "fix" or anything ? It does not seem too noticeable when riding but when off the bike looks like hell and moves around alot. ..

I have a XB9S. Yes... I bought the streetfighter seat (which I love) and it fits loose... maybe a bit more than the original... and I have not explored a solution...and at this point I am not concerned. I do recommend periodically checking the underside of the seat and "stuff" under that area for contact/rub spots. I had to dremel a place that was adversely rubbing on some cables/wires.

I dont have the streetfighter. When the stock seat got to loose, I just wrapped the "clip" that goes in right above to tool bag with a bit of duct tape. fixed that puppy right up.

The front of my mine molded inward as it was worn in and seems to fit better now then when I put it on.

yeah I don't really like the mounting of the front where it slips into the plastic I kinda thought this was a bad design but ... if the piece was a little stronger or rigid I think things would be much better ... this is the only thing that I am not really happy with the fit and finish of the bike is good other than that ... Oh well Ride It ... well when it warms up anyway

Buy a Corbin gunfighter. Awesome, plain and simple!
