Default Police seat on road glide

Hi , considering putting a police seat on my 2015 road Glide special.
Can it be done? Has anyone done it without to much trouble? If so photos help advice etc would be welcome, what parts / fasteners would I need . I've seen the seat, coil over spring and mounting plate for sale on the bay but I'm based in the UK Andrew never seen one on a road glide.
Cheers

I had one on mine for a little while, they fit fin, no issues. It sat me too high, so I sold it. Comfortable enough, but didn't like the height.

What do you like about the Police seat that you don't like about the Sundowner or other saddles?

I like the PB seat for the all day comfort. You need some inseam. At 32" inseam it works for me. It will move you up and back. There seems (not scientific) to be more air flow around the seat which keeps things cooler. I also have the utopia driver backrest that I can swap between bikes.

I rode a bike with a police seat. It was comfortable, but a bit too high for my 30" inseam.

when you ride for 8 hours a day every day of the week, you get the most comfortable seat you can... being higher puts your legs in a more comfortable position and improves posture. it also puts you in more control of the bike for slow maneuvers... if you got the legs, go for it...
