Default Softail seat on wide glide

Can you get a badlander seat from a 2004 softail to work on a 2004 wide glide. Is there a width difference on frame or is it possible. Looks like same seat but I am sure there is some difference. I have a line on one cheap and wanted to see if it was possible. Any help is appreciated.

I'm not one to tell someone that something won't fit as I have several items on my WG that were never supposed to fit. However, the saddle on a Softail sits lower than on a Dyna so your arc segment on the rear fender is greater on the Softail than the Dyna.

Might work, I just think it would look like it is missing something.

It wouldn't be worth the effort to make it look good IMO

The front attachment is different. Be easier to buy the right seat than to modify that to fit.
