Default Newer seat will fit.

If you find a good deal on a seat that fits 97 and up it will fit on your older FL, you have to modify the tab on the late style seat so it slides into the tank mount but it will fit and won't move with the screws in the fender. I have done, it just take your time and don't remove too much of the seat tab. If you get really industrous you can weld on a wider piece on the seat tab.
