I noticed on my last RGC and now on the RGC CVO that my Hammock rubs the inside front corner of the saddle bag lid while I ride. The gap when I'm not sitting is not even - about a half inch on the left, at least a full inch on the right. I'm a big guy which I'm sure doesn't help. And not sure I sit perfectly straight but don't feel like I lean. Maybe i got a slightly defective seat? Just wondering if anyone else has this issue with their Hammocks and RGC. Will post some photos of the area that rubs. Worried it will eventually damage seat and/or lid.
Update: I found the reason my Hammock was rubbing. I sit with my weight shifted onto my right sit-bone (from years of sitting this way in my car) and because of this combined with my excessive weight it pushes the seat to the left and down. I had a couple buddies that sit straight up and weight a good 50-75 pounds less then me (I'm 250) the seat does not make contact with the saddlebag lid.
