Default Seat Question

Anyone know why a 12" wide Dyna seat won't fit on a Deluxe? The Deluxe seats are listed as being 12" wide and the same seats that are listed for the Deluxe work on Dyna's.

Looking to get a 2011 Deluxe Rootbeer color and think a seat something like this would look good on it. Might just have to have a custom seat made.

If the link below does not work is HD part number: 51937-10

Thx for any help and input.

Cool thx. HD also has nice distressed brown saddle bags that are for the Dyna as well. Will just have to find an aftermarket company for both.

The reason a Dyna seat won't fit a softail is that they have different frames.

Got to agree with Drew. Had a couple of old seats from a Dyna and they would not work on her Deluxe as a result of the frame configurations. She had the stock Deluxe seat reworked for a very reasonable price and she is very happy with the result!

That makes more sense now. Still asking a lot of newbie questions. If these next 3 months would only pass quickly.
