Yours is the first model year for several changes H-D made. For example your oil tank is under the transmission, instead of being an oil bag under the seat and your oil filter is up front, instead of being under and behind the transmission. Not least, your battery is under the seat!

For what it may be worth, the 93 frame is the same as the 94 to 96 year models, so their two piece seats should fit and use the same tank and fender 3 holes fitting.

Plenty of them around.

1997 and up is out of your picture.

I own the very same model and have converted move to let's say a 93.5 road king. You have the 3 choices. On my bike I can run any seat from the original all the way up to 07. Now you can take that back tab of you don't want to keep the stock luggage rack and bend it down and put a quick fastener in the fender. You bend the tab down on newer seats and most work and you can cut a slot in the frame and run some seats that way. I have 3 seats for my bike, a factory style mustang seat that I bet the rear tab down because I have a newer style rear, I have a lepera from an 05 touring that I just bevy the tab up and contour the bottom a little and a sundowner that came off an 03 that works well in the slot I cut in the frame.

I wish you luck in your search. I myself am puzzled as to why some seats mount with the bolts on the side, like my Le Pera, while others use the single bolt on the fender.
