Default dyna seat question

I have a 1999 fxdx and I'd like to put one of the newer retro style dyna seats on it (the ones similar to the sportster ones biltwell sells) but those are for 2006 and up. I cant find anyone who sells one thats similar so my question is - Whats the difference between the older dyna seats and the newer ones? thanks in advance.

Not sure if this will help but: I recently installed a Mustang Vintage Solo seat and I like it very much. Check out the Mustang site. It has a search where you input your info and it shows what they have for that fit. Maybe you will see something you like.
