Default Solo Seat Applications

Started cleaning up the clutter in the garage. While sorting through years of accumulated parts, I realized there is at least one motorcycle in there. Hung a 60 panhead motor and trans in a 48 wishbone and decided to build a rat bike. Does anybody know if an 85-00 Softail solo seat will roughly fit the contours of that 48 frame?

Thanks
Nick

What are the plans for wheels-tires, brakes ,bars, electric , fenders, exhaust and controls etc. Years ago i had a solo seat on a flh shovel secured with hose clamps, so i quests the question is how ratty or pretty do you want it.
