Hi my name is Katie. I have been riding for 3 years now, I started on a 600 sport bike and then through the years I decided I should upgrade to a Harley. Saw my 883 custom sitting on the show room floor and had to have it. I own a 07 sportster custom 883. Was featured in a calendar and have so far in a year won 1, 2nd place trophy. Have some questions hoping I can get some answers.

Looking to buy a 2 up seat and would like to know what other seats interchange with the sportster. Looking at a fxd 2 up seat off a 07 hoping it will fit it's close to where I live and cheap. Ty

Welcome!
Can't help you right off with the seat question, but I'm sure you can get a quick answer from the forum. Have you looked at the online catalog on the HD website to see what seats they list for your bike? http://www.harley-davidson.com/shop/...hTermScope=-99

Welcome to the forum.
According to the Harley site , you would be looking for seat fitment for 2007-2015 XL models with a 4.5 gallon fuel tank.
Mustang seats claim fitment for 2004-2015 XL models with a 4.5 gallon fuel tank.

Just an example.

Hi and welcome, I love my Mustang Wide Vintage 2-up. I can ride for hours on it. I'm not sure if the FXD seat will fit since it's for a Dyna, and your bike will require a seat for a 4.5 gallon tank. I could be wrong on that though. I'm no expert on seats lol.

And yes, please post pics of your ride.
