Old bike - new seat????

Hi everyone. Anybody converted/adapted a later Roadking seat to fit earlier one?I have a 95 RK and its more or less impossible to get a nice seat for it, after 96 the fitting changed to male fitting on the front of seat from the female bracket that hooked under the tongue on the tank.
Appreciate any advice or tips to adapt.
Thanks

Contact Mean City Cycles, they can make your stock seat very, very comfortable.

I'm pretty sure that if you had a later seat in the hand you could see a way of adapting it. Do you know an RK owner who would let you take a close look at his seat?

+1 on Mean City Cycles. I sent them my stock 89 seat and they did a great job - slightly lowering the seating position and installing all-new memory foam front and rear.
