Default SOFTAIL (200MM TIRE)has anyone did a 240 phatail kit on an 06 softail (stock 200mm tire)????

I HAVE IT ALL DONE AND i AM TRYING TO FIND A SEAT. CORBIN SAYS THE 2005 SEAT WILL NOT FIT? cORBIN SAYS THEY DO NOT MAKE A SEAT FOR THE PHATAIL KIT ON A 2006(200MM)... CAN ANYONE HELP? WHAT IS DIFF FROM THE 05 FRAME TO THE 06? OBVIOUSLY THE SWINGARM IS DIFF. i THINK AN 05 CORBIN PHATAIL SEAT WILL WORK? THANKS FOR ANY INPUT

Because the swing arm is wider for the 200mm tire the frame has to be wider back there too.
If you try to put a seat on that's ment for an 05 the frame tubes are probablywider than the seat where the swing arm attaches.

The 2005 seat bolts onto the sides of the frame, the 2006 seat has a tab on the back that bolts to the rear fender.

Incidentally, the frame and swingarm are the same width. The frame has different “horns” to accommodate the narrower fender struts, and the swingarm has a different mounting tab for the brake caliper. Then, to fit the bigger tire in, they used a narrower belt/sprocket. I had an 04 parked in my garage over the winter and did a thorough side by side comparison. [align=left] [/align]
