Default Seat Question

Anyone know if the seat from a 2012 street glide will fit a 2001 Road King, I doubt it but would like to check before passing up one that is for sale.

The whole frame of the '12 is new and the gas tank is longer, coming further back on the bike, as well as having a different way of holding the seat on. If you can offer it up to see where it touches and reckon you can adapt it, that would be fine, but it won't bolt on.

Thanks for your thoughts guys. As for the Mustang seat, the postage will likely be more than the seat I was looking at, Im in the UK, thanks for the offer though

There are UK-based outlets for new Mustang and Corbin seats, if interested.

Hi Graham,

Sounds like that might be worth a look, mind you I have lots of mods planned for the future and one would be recovering the seat and bags to match so might be a bit daft buying a new one but depends on price I suppose

It saves the messing around with a personal import. There is stacks of stuff we can only get that way, but it is always worth looking for a UK source first.
