Fat Bob Frame difference from other dynas

Talking to Corbin on ordering a seat they say that the Fat Bob has a different frame or least subframe from all the other dyna models - so they require different seats. Can't remeber but they say the Fat Bob seat sits higher/lower in the back from other dynas includding the Wide Glide.

Does anybody have a parts book to check the part numbers between the Fat Bob and regular dynas frame/rear sub frame (if any) and see if they are different, at least from the Wide Glide.

seat

with the Corbin seat the base doesn't flex like the regular HD seat does, so that might be a problem

The only frame difference is that the rear fender supports are wider for the wider tire and fender. Not sure why that would affect the seat. The bike may sit lower, but that's a wheel/tire/shock thing.
