collector plates

trying to get collector plates for my 1974 FLH here in Canada. I have a&nbsp\\; non-stock touring seat on the bike now which may make them reject my application. Does anyone know if this model came with any standard seat beside what they call a "buddy seat"? If not, does anyone have a buddy seat forsale? thanks

RE: collector plates

Can you get hobbyist plates up there. Thats what i did. They let you modify the bike yet have the same advantages as collector plates.

RE: collector plates

In 1974 you could order your bike with any seat Harley had available.&nbsp\\; Solo, Buddy, Sportster Style Buddy, or from a Superglide FX model.&nbsp\\; Some dealers were offering what they called a Sport model.&nbsp\\; A stripped down FLH with a frame mounted seat.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; No bags, windshield, spot lamps, luggage rack or&nbsp\\;engine guards.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; The only problem they wanted almost as much as the dressed version.
