I have just bought a custom seat what I didn’t realise is that it was for the 114 model 2018 onwards
mine is a 2016 model
can you make this fit or do I have to sell it

My take on all of this - before asking about the difference between an "Older and a Newer" Softail, you have to have an Older one to make the comparison

Like Dan said, his must be prehistoric and my 97 aint too far behind it. Realistically though - stay with the strong, reliable bullet proof (almost) Evo - in other words a genuinely Older bike.
