Default Will this seat fit on a '98 Fatboy?

I was at the local dealer last weekend and sat on this bike. I've been in the market to change the mini apes on my Fatboy and the corbin seat because it makes me slouch when I ride, not comfortable. I'm trying to replicate the feel of a RoadKing. My Corbin seat is too low and deep.

I didn't check, what model bike is this? Can I go to the dealer with the part number for the seat and handlebars, order them and have them fit on my '98 Fatboy? This bike was a very comfortable softail. Can you point me in the right direction to get the part numbers for the bars and the seat?




UPDATE:

I found these bars on the parts finder website for a 2017 Deluxe, but I'm not sure if they're the same

That is a deluxe...the seat won't be a bolt on for a 98...but it is not that hard to make fit either...

Always plenty on ebay...would need to drill fender to make work...had one on my 84 at one time

I like the seat position, but not the metal bar that goes behind it. Any other aftermarket companies that make these style seats would do... Someone mentioned a company called "Magnum" or something like that that makes RoadKing seats for softails, or something similar...
