Default 05 Electra Glide seat compatability

Can anyone tell me what Harley factory seats are interchangeable with my 05 Electra Glide Std? Specifically maybe an 06 Street Glide or any other touring models. I have a Corbin solo seat now, but want something better for long trips! Any help would be greatful! Thx.

I "think" any of the touring seats from '97 to '07 will physically fit. The major differences will be how far up the tank they go.

I have a stock comfort stitch seat from an '04 Electra Glide Classic for sale. It's my buddy's seat, but he gave it to me to sell for him.

If you are interested, let me know thru PM

I'm from AZ. Thanks for the advice guys. I've got an Ultra seat, but it sits way too high w/o a tour pack. Planning a Four Corners trip next week (about 500 miles aaway) and want something with a little more cushion. The good Lord had a sense of humor with me and didn't give me much behind!

Just as MAINEULTRACLASSIC was posting I was too. Thank you very much for the offer, just need a sleeker look. My Corbin solo is a real slender look, which is why i'm primarily looking for a street glide seat. Thanks again!

Found a brand new 07 Road King seat locally, I take it that it would be compatible? It's about an hour away, but im willing to drive it if it fits. Anyone w/ a similiar experience? Any idea on it looking funny?

with either the SG or RK seats you will need to change your center console or put an extension on your stock one or you will have a huge gap that looks crappy. An prior 08 EG or any prior 08 RG will work.
