Looks similar to a Mustang Maverick seat. Looks good.

Very nice bike!! I, like you wanted to put 21 wheel, apes, change the bags, then decided all the other bikes look like that, Ill keep it with its orig vibe. Pretty happy so far that I have, Only thing I am seriously looking for is a single seat for when my box isn't on. But it is your bike, and I am curious to see one done without my money haha.

85, i don't know if you're aware but those 85's are very rare. only about 3500 electra glides were built in 85.

Exactly. OP needs to leave the bike alone. It won't be worth a crap with what he has planned for it.
