I'm just a bit confused. You're trying to put a Dyna seat on a Softail? That falls under custom. We used to say "Cussed 'em (custom) the entire time we were building it!"

Start your own thread and don't hijack someone else's with completely off topic questions.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you don't have a Dyna. Your bike is a softail and if you're looking up parts on Ronnies you'll want to be in the right section.

Got caught in the newbie hijack too. Has the OP disappeared?

It's a "Badlander" for a 1996-2003 Dyna. The original purchaser would have been instructed to re-use the original rear bracket for all except FXDWG. For the FXDWG you would use the longer included bracket.

This is different than for Stock OE seats. They use a longer seat for the FXDWG but with the same rear bracket as the shorter FXD seat

The longer rear bracket is part# 52152-97
