Author Message   Cixyx_pilot Posted on Saturday, March 24, 2007 - 07:43 pm:        I bought a Select Seat for my 06 City X. Tried to put I on for the first time. And what a poor fit!! On one side of the seat there is a large gap, on the other side it's hitting the airbox cover. Anyone else have this problem?   Holling Posted on Saturday, March 24, 2007 - 08:10 pm:        I don't have one yet but am thinking about it. I would lay it on a flat surface and see if it looks warped. If so, get it exchanged.   Jjk Posted on Saturday, March 24, 2007 - 09:01 pm:        I hear ya, CityX Pilot! I have had all sorts of trouble getting any of the aftermarket seats to fit my '05 CityX properly. I have tried the Select, Streetfighter, a regular "S" seat, and even an '07 CityX seat. None of them sit flush with my rear subframe, some having gaps of close to an inch or more. What is the deal??? My stock seat fits perfectly and I'm thinking I may just get it refoamed/covered to make it a bit more comfortable and less slippery.   Indy_bueller Posted on Saturday, March 24, 2007 - 09:18 pm:        Odd....we just put a select seat on my buddies 06 CityX a couple weeks ago to try it out, it fit just fine. I wonder if there is maybe a QC problem where they are made?   Old_man Posted on Saturday, March 24, 2007 - 09:34 pm:        I had a Streetfighter seat and now a Select seat. Both have big gaps at the rear. The stock seat fits fine.   Cycleaddict Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2007 - 12:30 am:        i replaced my stock seat with the streetfighter & the fit is the same as stock = good. sounnds like some thing is BENT on yours (did you crash your m/c ?)   Old_man Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2007 - 12:42 am:        Never crashed, the stock seat, I still have, fits good.   Cixyx_pilot Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2007 - 02:32 am:        no crash.   Jjk Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2007 - 11:41 am:        No crash here, either. Having tried so many different options on my bike, I almost get the feeling that the seat makers have different specs for the seat pans than the actual measurements.   Ekass13 Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2007 - 11:48 am:        Just bought a Select seat, should be here soon. You are buging me out!   Metalstorm Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2007 - 12:02 pm:        Mine fits perfectly. Better than the stock low seat actually. I'm pretty sure mine's from the first batch of Selects made. I put my order in the moment the new seat was announced. So maybe the newer batches have some flaws??   Cycleaddict Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2007 - 10:45 pm:        maybe the plastic seat pans got warped from some heat source ? (i was joking about the "bent" bike)   Kdan Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2007 - 10:48 pm:        I have a stock CityX seat on my XB9S. Fits great!   Typeone Posted on Monday, March 26, 2007 - 10:13 am:        my stocker is warped at the rear but both my Selects fit great. 2 more coins.. .   Nuerburgringer Posted on Monday, March 26, 2007 - 11:12 pm:        Mine fit so poorly, I couldn't get rid of it fast enough. Looooong gone...   Cixyx_pilot Posted on Monday, March 26, 2007 - 11:43 pm:        Took my Select seat back to the dealer today and got my money back. Put the stock City X seat back on!!!!
