Cool Solo seat on an 1984 FLH
Did all FLHs up to 1984 have provisions for the plunger solo/buddy seat setup like the earlier 60's 70's frames?

No the further away it got from the pogo the more difficult it gets to install

but police seat is even a better option for the 84 start looking

I have a cop seat on my Road King, it is like sitting on the hands of a goddess! LOL

FWIW, if you can't find a place on your bike for the air canister that mounts to the radio rack on cop bikes, see if the newer coil spring seats will fit. If not, people have used a Kong dog chew toy in place of the air bladder.

Mustang solo on a 1982 FLHC. Pretty comfortable, IMHO. Cop seat from later model twinkies is the best seat I have ever used, bar none.
