In Lloyds defense, I did notice this.
I don't know if it looks like that when i sit on it. I do know my right grabrail is sagging a bit for lack of a bolt. I'll try to reposition my hardware and see if it makes a difference. I'll keep y'all posted.
That fitment, tail light and grab rail misalignment was present and noticeable upon return of the bike I gave them for Fab, as well as my other two bikes in varying degrees (some more severe.
I informed them an sent them pictures about the problem. The problem stems from the seat pan mold they created. The pan is not hand made. The machine mold was created from a hand made buck though, and that is precisely where the problem stems. To fix it, the mold will have to be changed or redone. I offered to help. It appears all my warnings and significant time I spent (donated) trying to help them sort the problem has simply been ignored.
You should also check to see how the seat is centered laterally on the frame. If it is like mine, the entire seat will be offset to the right about 3/8 to 1/2 inch.
Further, enjoy how nicely and conformantly the seat fits against the fuel tank when new. Mine did too when I first brought it home. See the pictures below of how it has deformed upward and rearward all on it's own sitting in my garage. It's only been 7 months in the shade of my garage.
It's a nice seat if you don't require any precision fitment. Looks nice from about 10 ft away. The upholstery is superb, a would expect it to wear like iron.
The mold maker is actually offended by his own work, imo. It is simply not up to production standards. I bet he can make great one-offs. But, production work is a different animal, and those skills are different and lacking in the current product. It's a shame he used frame features for seat alignment on the bike that Honda didn't control dimensionally. That is the root of the mold failure.
If you wish, you might pursue sending a stock pan to them and fitting the gunfighter to that. Should work a treat.
Cheers,
