Default Question for Heartland kit owners

Hi All
I'm planning on doing the heartland rear fender kit on my 05 night train. I was planning on just doing a 180 kit and I wanted to know do you need to use heartlands seat or can you use another vendors? If so do they need mods to work?
I have an HD diamond back on my bike now that I had Americana soft seats modify and is very comfortable now. Love to make that work. If not how is Heartlands seat?

Thanks

Rob

BY looking at the pics from heartland I don't think your seat would work.

If I recall, heartland either uses a Danny Gray buttcrack solo seat or have a pretty darn good knock off made.&nbsp\\; I have the 250 kit and the seat is incredible.&nbsp\\; I can ride hundreds of miles with no issues.&nbsp\\; I also have the passenger seat and my girlfriend has no complaints!&nbsp\\; Their products are top notch!

Thanks fatfxst for info.
By the way I know they have 3 different fenders to choose from. Which do you have and do you get any spray up your back if you ride on wet roads etc?
