Default Corbin seat question

Hey guys,
I'm interested in buying a Corbin "Young Guns" seat for my '76 FLH but the notes say it's for a FX only. What could possibly be different between the two? Anyone ever run this seat on a FLH? I've seen it on other sites and they all say it will fit both the FX & the FLH. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's the seat on Corbin's site

Here's a site that says it will fit.

probably the curvature of the fender, being the FLH wider than the FX

I've never owned a FLH (yet) but do they have a rear fender screw like the FX's do? If not this may be why.

Yes it has a rear fender screw, Corbin said it could be because of the rear fender curve but said there is a 80% chance it would fit. I am checking to see if they can mod the pan so it would be more towards a 95% chance. Anyone else running a 1-piece "fastback" seat on their bike? I've looked at seats from Mustang, Drag Specialties, La Pera & Saddleman but keep coming back to Corbin.
