Nope. Take it back. The frame changed sometime after 99. I haven't got a good date, but the 99 definitely has a different front seat mount and lower/rear tank mount. I dont have the pictures on my phone but I can upload some tonight to show the correct seat if you need.

Yeah, that one looks better. I'm getting ready to sell a like-new LePera Silhouette Gel if that's more like what you want.

I can tell you if thats a Saddleman Profiler Gel you're going to love it. Just make sure your fender is well protected with the film, it will leave rub marks. I have one and its incredibly comfortable. I also have the Mustang Tripper Solo and I find the same all day comfort with it also. But then I rode tri bicycles on a tiny piece of carbon fiber for a 100 miles lol.

Here are the pics of the second seat i went and traded for. Its a saddlemen seat. It was for a wide glide but it fit Kinda. The mounting tab at back of seat is too long so i had to move it forward a hole which means only one bolt is holding the rear mounting tab in place for now. This was a discontinued saddlemen seat i guess been sitting in parts shop for a long time. Still new in the box. But got it for 99.99 Not sure if like those metal studs, Might be growing on me for that price i will live with them. Seat is gel seat and feels way better













Does this look right in the front not sure if should be able to see that bolt but its sturdy up front
