Help me identify this seat
Alright, I've spent a few hours trying to figure this seat out and I've given up and need the help of all of you internet experts.
This seat came on my 2007 FXDB. I recently upgraded to a Saddlemen and I'm trying to sell this one, but I'm not 100% sure I've identified it properly and I don't want to sell someone something that doesn't work. I thought I had it figured out when I found this seat on eBay . I found a few more using the same part number and they look IDENTICAL to my seat..same stitching and everything. Can't find a single difference. EXCEPT the bottom looks different.
EDIT: I found this seat that has an identical bottom aside from the big ugly cut out. Says it's for 04-05 which I thought had a more unique setup anyway. Think I'm getting there.
Is it possible that it's the same seat? Or is it a different seat and mine has a part number I just can't find? Please help!

Your Pic above is of a 2004-05 OEM Seat Pan...like you thought. Might be a Wideglide model, which might be a little longer (they were on the 96-2003 seats).
Maybe you could run a tape measure from the front metal tongue back to the hole in the rear bracket. I have some 04-05 seats I could measure to confirm.

Just out of curiosity, if this seat hasn't been altered at all and it is for an 04-05 how come it would fit my 07 but a normal 07 seat wouldn't fit an 05? Aside from a slight movement in the seat when I would sit on it it seemed like it fit just fine...
Thanks again for the help, really don't want to sell someone something they can't use.

Ok...That's a 2004-05 "Wide Glide" Seat
I measured the Super Glide seats I have and they were shorter, but also I noticed that the "molded in" #s to hold-down bracket spacing could be used as an easy visual reference.
Here's your seat spacing below ...I'll post a photo later of mine
