Default seat length with 4.5 gal tank

what is the difference in length of the seat made for the 4.5 gal tank vs the 3.3 gal tank on late model sportsters?

i put a stock nighters seat on my 1200C and if I remember it was about 1.25 inches or so shorter. i can get an exact measurement of the gap between the seat andmy tank if you want.

The 4.5 gal tank is about an 1" - 1.25" longer than a peanut tank. The seats for the C models are shorter in the nose by about the same amount.
