That's nothing to be proud of
I love those seats, but I couldn't get past the side airbag lump. Still, if they were a bargain then probably better that than buying the Sportster CS seats and fitting those, that would be a fair bit more hassle.
Not a fan of the side airbag pods myself Dan but at least they will plug into my existing loom and also better than NOT having side airbags from a safety point of view
