will a seat for a 2000-06 softail duece fit a 07 fatboy. if not what is the difference in the mounting. Is their a simple mod to make it fit or is not worth the hassle.

I am interested in a sweet two up seat, but it is only listed for the Duece for some reason. there is similiar one for the fatboy but its not the same. I figured since they were both a softail they would fit, but i can't get a straight answer or find the info anywhere. when looking a fatboy seat app, it seams to cross back to a duece, but not the other way.



TIA..

 

need to add, i was wrong on the yrs of the fitment..the seat fits up to a 07..

this is the one i would like to get..





i hope someone here can help me out..


this is the one the dealer is trying to sell me on..

 

07 Fatboy has a 200mm rear tire. The Duece is a 160mm. Seats are not interchangeable. I had the seat in the second pic on my 09 std. It looked like the Goodyear blimp but felt like a couch!

 

aaaah.. that makes sense then. did the seat lower you at all ? i would like to be a tad lower and the OL wants more *** room.. lol.. not that she has a big ***, far from it, she gets sore from her thigh rubbing on the narrow pillion..


we like how the 2 up part swopes up towards the frt to help keep her in place instead of slowly moving forward into me..

 

This is the seat I had. My wife loved it. I hated the look. That's why I have the Heritage now & the 06 is all mine

Then.....



Now...before the chrome rocker covers & Cobra headlamp were added

 

going to a solo seat definitely makes a diff. i like the frt wheel also..

i stripped mine down one day just to see what it looks like.. killer look, but i use mine for daily work transport and then theres the mrs.. it would be nice if the bags had a quick mount/dismount like the backrest..

 

The bags on the old pic are quick disconnect. So is the windshield & riders backrest. I haven't used them in ages. I have the Mustang pillion in case the Heritage is in the shop or it's down for any time & the wife wants to ride.

 

you got a great lookin ride there GB..



hopefully one day i'll be able to afford a 2nd scoot.. the screamin eagle fatbob fit my *** perfectly the other day.. the price tag didn't though..

 

the sundowner does lower you from the stock seat. It's very comfy, just not much to look at. Probably moves you up a little too. I've got one, and 2 others. each one has it's likes and dislikes

 

here's a pic with mine on.
