Default Difference in seats....

I have a 2001 Fatboy. Just wondering if anyone knows the difference between the factory installed Fatboy seat and the Heritage Classic factory installed seats of the same year model range (i.e. I'm guessing '00-06)?

In 1990 Harley introduced the Fatboy. It was a derivative of the heritage platform. The seat mounting points are the same for like year models. One way to verify this is through JP Cycles website. Identify a seat and view model fitment.

Should have thought of that. Thanks.
