Default 08 streetglide seat fit a 07 flht standard?

I just bought this 08 street glide seat and it's not even close to fitting?

I was told this works?

08 seat will not fit a pre 08 bike because of the frame change/6 gal tank. There is a tab on the pre 08 seats that fit into a slot on the frame. On 08 and later there is a tab on the frames that fit into a slot in the seat.

lol, now ya tell me. I got it home and then noticed it didn't have the tab underneath for th tank...sat it on the bike and just laughed. It wasn't even close.

So what seat do I need? 06-07 street glide seat correct?

I like the low profile design of them.

Touring seats from 97-07 will work, but if you're looking for an FLHX seat then yes 06 or 07 is what you would be looking for.

A streetglide has a different counsel then the Standard so you will have a big gap between the front of the seat and the counsel on the tank. Find an 07 roadglide seat and you will be good to go. It is either that or you will have to swap out your counsel or buy that cheesy looking filler peice.
