Default Switchback seat on WG?
Will a seat from a switchback fit on a '12 Wideglide?

I'll try the dealer on Monday I guess. Thought I'd see if someone here has tried it. Need to get a new seat soon. Wife not happy with the cc squareback on long rides. I'm ready to pull the trigger on a mustang vintage wide one piece, but also remembered that the switchback seat felt pretty comfortable when we were bike shopping and it looks decent as well, at least on that bike.

You would think if the HD Brawler part# fits all in the chart below
the FLD would also be interchangeable.

The brawler fits my FLD

Just to follow up, I stopped by the dealer today and they said the seats are interchangeable. They happened to have three FLD's on the showroom floor, so I got to try a seat out. I wasn't overly impressed with the comfort, kinda felt a little like my stock WG seat. I ended up ordering the Mustang Vintage Wide 2up one piece instead. Should be here this week.

I think Harley designs all the seats all the Dynas not to feel comfortable so we have to buy another seat.
