Well if anyone ever needs a seat I'd sell mine, factory style one has matching sissy pad as well. Both are about in perfect condition.

Just some information I found when working on a friends bike.
I always have to wonder when I hear this kinda "stuff"
The EVO uses thru bolts to attach the Heads... the shovelhead sandwich is completely and absolutely unique to Shovelheads... while the EVO sandwich could not possibly the fasteners found in the Shovel...Shovel "studs" are all of an inch long....

There is an '86 FXWG in the shop right now...and it utilizes a regular 4 speed seat... but, with the "prongs" removed, and a groove put into the leading edge of rhe seat pan... seems to work really well...and 4-speed seats are quite common!!!
