I am looking to fit a seat to a 2008 FLHR. This is the orphan model year with the old style frame but the first year with the 6 gal gas tank.

This means the 2009+ seats won't fit the frame and the 6 gal tank apparently interferes with the earlier seat.

My question is what is it, exactly, that creates the interference with the earlier seats?

I am looking for information on what it might take to modify an earlier seat to file this orphan model year.

 

 

Gave my friend who has an 08 RoadKing, my 13 seat. Fit fine

 

Thanks!!
