Default Seat swap

Can anyone tell me if I can fit a seat from a 2006 or later Heritage to a 2004 FXSTI?
I think the difference is that the later bike had the 200 section rear tyre but how does that affect the seat?
Anyone know what the difference is?

Thanks for taking the time to reply, interesting info,,,,,,,,,,,,

but I think I may have asked the wrong question,,,,,,,,Doh!

I like the look of this seat but don't know if I can persude it to fit my 2004 FXSTI,,,,,,,,,,,,

any idea? is it just a different mounting bracket or are the two seats substantially different in size?
