I am interested in the Gunfighter and Lady so I can take a passenger. I seem to recall that when some earlier aftermarket seats are mounted on a 2017, they are very snug against the 2017 tank, actually causing some deformation at the nose of the seat. Deformation of the seat foam and cover would not be a problem with a Corbin seat because a Corbin seat has a very stiff fiberglass base, but I really am not wanting to have to cram a Corbin seat onto the bike so that it is pushing very hard against the back of the tank. If it is an issue, it will destroy the paint on the back of the tank even with paint protection film on the tank. If a stock pre-2017 seat won't fit a 2017 bike, I'm having trouble understanding how a Corbin designed for a pre-2017 would fit like a seat Corbin actually designs for a newer bike.

I think I recall some of those 2017 concerns on similar past posts. Agreed - tank paint abrasion/loss due to seat friction is bad enough with the OEM seat. There is no interest to make that issue worse.
