Default 2006 FLSTI Seat compatibility

I'm looking at purchasing a driver backrest from BestemUSA. They claim it fits 1989 - 2006 Fatboy's and Heritage Classics. Mine is a 2006 Heritage with the removable passenger pillion. Unfortunately it's spending the winter at my local HD dealer so I can't measure the rear seat mounting holes to see if the Bestem product will fit (3 3/8" center to center). Does anybody know if the Heritage Classic and Heritage seats are interchangeable?
Thanks!

Default Bestem Driver Backrest

Thanks for the link. I've been looking for a seat that has back support but doesn't sit me any lower - I'm 6'6" and already feel like I'm sitting too far forward. Most of the aftermarket seats with backrests (or with back support like the Sundowner) also move you forward and/or down. There is a "Tall Boy" seat from HD for the 07 and newer Heritage's but won't fit my 06. Here's what I'm looking at - it works with the factory solo seat.

I think I'll give it a try and post my comments good or bad.
