OK, I breezed through Dodge City HD parts online and looked at several different model years Softail Heritages, but did not see any seats with a latch like that. I wasn't aware any Softail models had a latch. does the other side of the seat have hinges to allow you to swing the seat and access the battery kinda like an FXR? Do you have a Heritage Softail or was I way off base with the search?

I think they stopped selling that model of seat around 2008 or so.
When I was shopping for a used replacement seat for my 09 Heritage I found a number of seats like you have with the side level.
After some research I found that the reason Harley quit selling that seat was a problem with the plastic levers breaking off which appears is the problem with the seat you have.
I ended up buying the replacement model of seat where-as that level assemble was removed.
I think that maybe Saddleman's may have made that seat so you might try them but I doubt you will find a replacement part.
BTW- I really like the seat as does my Wife.
Good luck.

I have a 2006 softail standard the seat actually bolts on the side too. It was free and I love the softail writing on the side of it . Also I'm looking for the smooth look now fringe or raised stitching. Thank You

I might shoot saddkeman a email and see I would try to repair it but the plastic is brittle. I maybe could build on out of steel but I don't have all the equipment to make one out of light steel. Thank you
I believe what you have is a Harley Sigature Series Seat p/n 51562-00.

I put a Saddleman Gel seat with the driver backrest on my 03 Heritage and I love it. The Gel made it as hard as a brick for the first 100 miles or so, but once my fat *** crushed it down and molded it, man it's comfy.

I know this is a 3 yr old post but if anyone is still looking for a replacement part for this Back Rest Actuator there is a company called Shapeways that now 3D prints this part and sells them for about $30. I know this because I too had this part brake and searched the world over with no luck. If the link does not work perform a search for Shapeways Back Rest Actuator Housing.
