Default FXSTC seat on 2004 softail standard?

Hi All,

I'm thinking about fitting a FXSTC seat onto my 2004 Standard.

But, the issue is that HD didn't make a FXSTC model during 2000..2005 with the narrow rear wheel. So, my question is, can a seat from either the earlier or later models be made to fit, perhaps with a little "adjusting? Which would be easier to do?

Just for reference, this is a photo of the seat from eBay. The seat should also have a fixed sissy bar that is not shown in the pic.



Again for example, this is a 2008(ish) FXSTC with the wider rear wheel.




TIA, Jayne

Pictured seat appears to be 07 or later custom requiring wide fender and sissy bar mount. Neither will fit 05 and earlier...MODIFICATION NOT LIKELY.

Yep, I knew it wasn't a straight fit but this is the kind of thing I like the look-of. Would one of the earlier ones be better to modify?
