Default Need help identifying this seat.

Was going through some old parts and came across this seat. Not sure where I picked it from, any ideas what it came off? No HD stamp on belly so guessing a mustang pan, but from what? Seat secures to passenger grab bars, so thinking mid to late 80's? Any thoughts?

Thanks, sure does look the seat in your picture. Any idea what years used this seat? I hope to post it locally to see if anyone needs this seat. I placed it on my 1985 FLHT and it seemed to fit the frame pretty close.

Note that an 80's shovel seat pan is different than an 80's Evo seat pan. The shovel pan is slightly shorter, enough that the two are not interchangeable.

The rear mounts on your seat is the same as the Shovel pictured, with the information you posted and the Dr's input, 80-84 Shovel Tourglide and Touring

Yes, that makes sense. Thanks for the information, clears up that mystery.
