Default Seat choices

Hey guys and gals. I recently bought a 1988 Electra Glide Classic and would like to replace the seat. Choices are limited for that year of bike so I was wondering what other years and/or models would fit without major modifications. Thanks for any info.

Dont let years bother you too much.
I have a 1994 EVO and have had all kinds of newer seats on it.
You might have to adjust this or that, drill the other etc.
Once I had to take a heat gun and adjust the bottom plastic to fit the frame better...
Dont be intimidated....a bigger hammer always makes em fit.
The frames are pretty much the same contour.
