Default Fat Bob Seats

I have a seat fitment question. It appears that my Fat Bob 114 is different than other soft tails with regard to seat fitment. What is it about the Fat Bob 114 that prevents seats from other soft tails from fitting? Thanks for your answers
in advance.

The fat bob's seating position is higher and closer to the tank compared to the other softails. If you put one side by side next to say a street bob, the fender struts are wider apart and the shape of the fender has the seating position closer to the tank. See the images below, you can notice the shape of the fender struts and how much longer the struts are on the low rider vs the fat bob.
