Default Garage sale find. Does anybody know what it fits?

I got this seat for ten bucks at a garage sale. The guy didn't know what it was off of but I figured what the hell. I took it to the harley dealership and they were thinking it was maybe an 80s sportster. It does not fit my 98 FXD and it has no tags or numbers anywhere on it. Does it look familiar to anybody?

Thanks in advance.
Paul

Looks like it is off a Electra Glide or similar.

Don't know what it fits, but...

You have 'Potato, potato, potatoes' on your counter also!

Should be a direct bolt-on for a 1966 Tohatsu Runpet. Anything else will probably need some way of holding it down in the rear.

Could be for a Deuce but it looks like the tabs on each side are missing that the fender brace mount bolt goes through. The underneath on the rear looks like the indentation for the rear fender bib that the Deuce's had.

But I could be 100% wrong. It could be a $10 piece of wall art for the rec room that used to be a motorcycle seat off of some kind of motorcycle maybe.

it is for an electraglide, the front of the seat covers the bottom of the fuel tank up to the chrome fuel filler console. it kind of looks like it is for a 90's model because the nose is so high on it, but only way to be sure is to try it on.

it really looks like a recovered badlander seat, but the rear (missing) mounting tab should be riveted on, not a bolt on.
