Default Biltwell HB seat on pre-04?

Hey all,

I'm really liking the Biltwell HB seat (tuck n roll) but I have a 2002 Hugger and they're designed to fit 2004 and up models. http://www.biltwellinc.com/index.php...t_detail&p=235

Any idea if I could get this seat to fit with some minor modifications or will it just not work? I know the seats for my era sportsters have a tongue underneath and not up front.

Thanks for any insight.
-Rob

I though they make a cool seat for your year model?

Their Banana seat is for pre-04 but might not be long enough for 2 up.

I have their banana seat on my 1991 1200. Definitely no room for a passenger, but it looks great.

PS one of the worst seats I think I have ever road on in regards to comfort. After 30 minutes on the highway I had to stop and stand up for about 2 minutes. All the wrong places went completely numb. I am serious, really, really uncomfortable.
