Default Getting a 97+ seat to fit on an 89 Electra Glide

Hi guys, I see a fair amount of people who have made this work but have not been able to really find out what is involved in making it work. Take offs are much cheaper on CL and I would like to make one work if I could. I like the looks of this seat off a 99 Roadking. http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/mpo/4989019978.html

Can anyone tell me what is involved other than the dash extension in making a newer style seat work? Thanks in advance.
