Reply #1 - 07/20/07 at 23:16:07 I don't know what year mine came from but the most posts said any year sportster. I don't know that for sure. Just take a good look at the sportster seat mod in the tech section and get one that looks like that. There's also one already mod'd on ebay. Take a look at his too. If you need more pict, pm me and I'll send you some.

thanx fer gettin' back on this.....am wishing to replace stock seat, unsure as to what type [years] Harley seat to purchase....saw one on E-bay, but for $100.00 to ship is, well to be blunt.....outrageous! Also realize that some "mods" will need to be done to attach, but just figured there may be better year/models that would be easier or better.

OK.....do ya have any idea as to length [ie: as mentioned in a previous post above]? Am asking as I recently purchased a HD seat from a savage member,
and I wasn't brite enough to ask, just A$$-ummed it to be a two up size seat, turned out to be a solo seat....
if ya have a full size seat, would be interested in purchasing it......shipping cost & how ya wish pymt. to be made?

here ya go ..
This is a picture of my 1987 that I sold.

Much better look and ride, easy installation as well. If you'll notice that seat was the shorter version from the bigger tank. The seat from the small tank almost touches the taillight, which means you cant use the rear Harley tab to bolt it down.
Make sure you do the front of the seat mod described elsewhere on here.

I'm waiting to see. I like the leather construction of the seat I had on her and I really liked the appearance too. It was definitely more comfortable than the old two-piece stock seat but I've heard so much about the Sporty seats being much more comfortable that I had to try. So I watched eBay for a while and picked one up. I mounted it last weekend using a method very much like Verslagen1's. I definitely like using speed pins instead of bolts. I have some minor finishing to do but it's fully functional right now.

Reply #14 - 08/01/07 at 14:29:56 theikeman, do you know the year of the bike that the HD seat came off of? Also what was the lenght? That is a sharp looking seat and I like that fact that you can use the hd bolt down tab.
