Default Seat swap

I have an 02 Heritage. I picked up a seat from an 07 for cheap money. But the mounting is totally different. Even for the passenger pillion,there seems to be no way to attach it. Is there a way to make it fit?

I did the same thing. I have a bad back. I went to the dealer and sat on every seat in the house. Then I bought the one that felt right.

There is a body shop in memphis that does custom work. They took the queen part off and squared the back off. He put the screw mount tab back on.

You cannot tell the seat is not a stock bought item.
