Default RE: seat ??
depends on what year your fatboy is
05 and back they will interchange unless you have the screamin eagle version (wide tire)
in 06 they still had a few with the narrow rear tire but 07 & 08 they went to the 200 rear tire on the fat boy but the deluxe still has the narrow rear tire
hope this helps

If you were thinking of your wife you would have left the stock one on, comfortable for the passenger.
