Soft tail interchangability
so I Have 1998 soft tail Custom and I am looking for a seat. I have a guy that says he has a seat off a 1988 ST heritage (2 piece). Are these interchangable??

I can't answer your question specifically, but here is a trick I use....
Using your case as an example.... I'd look up a similar aftermarket seat, like a two piece Mustang seat. Then I'd check the fitment chart and see if it includes both a '98 custom and an '88 Heritage...
If both are included in the fitment chart, while not a guarantee, it would be a good indicator.
I would check a couple different seats on a couple different vendor sites like Revzilla, J&P cycles, and the manufacturer for the fitment charts...
Good luck...

evo softails up to 99 are about the same...in like 89 they changed the rear shocks an maybe swing arm, 96 wiring/controls were updated. I hear at some point in the early/mid 90's the front tab changed for softail seats but you can modify one to work with the other by moving the tab...I have a sweet custom covered Corbin for sale in the evo classified since I just sold my evo.
