Seats for different model years
I'm looking for a bargain on a new seat, probably a solo, and it would be a whole lot easier if I knew how much modification it would take to use a seat from one model year/group on another. For example, there are lots of 1985-1999 softail seats at good prices, but I have a 2004 FXST and those are usually grouped as 2000-2005, or 2000-up and different makes differ on which groups they put together. Some say "fits 2000-2011" and others separate "2006-2008" or whatever.
Has anybody modified or adapted a softail seat to models and years it's not supposed to fit? Anybody know the differences?

start hanging out at your local dealer, HOG chapter meetings, bike nights, etc... until you see a seat you like - buy the owner a long neck and I'll bet he'll let you see if it fits your bike.

I know you are looking for new, but I just sold my 02 FXST and still have the Saddleman Gel two up with backrest for sale for 225 + shipping, 500 new and has about 7k on it ((it fits 00 to 05 (and maybe 06) Standards, Fatboys and Heritages, yes it has the connectors for the fl frame)). I now have an 08 Heritage and just put a new Saddleman Gel on it, the same seat, just made to fit the 08 FLSTC.
