I was at the Syracuse Swap meet yesterday and saw a nce solo seat seat , my bike is an 02 FXD, buddy selling the seat says it will fit my bike, so i give him 40.00, i get home and find out the seat is for 06 and up, i live in Canada so returning the seat is not on option. Looks to be a stock solo for a Street bob.
What will i need to do to make this seat fit my bike, i am pretty handy with tools.

As for mod'ing the frame to fit the seat; this will only bring bigger problems later when you change seats again. Changing the seat to fit the bike only devalues the seat and you're out $40...and have a headache from trying to make a square peg fit in a round hole...now the latter idea is the best way to attempt to make the seat fit...but it is your $40..not mine.
Good Luck. Keep us posted...
