Will a nightster solo seat fit on a sportster 883C? I have a 2004 883C and will be purchasing a 2007 nightster that already has a different seat on it but is giving me the stock solo seat and my wife is taking the 883 and wanted to know if the stock solo seat would fit....i am still fairly new so i dont know...any and all help is appreciated. thanks

 

I put my stock Nightster seat on a 2004 883C. You'll have to relocate a module to get the seat to sit flat but it's real easy to move.

 

Here's the 04.

I put my seat on it because the chick that rides it is pretty short.

 

did you have to move anything or did it bolt right up?

 

Yeah, there's a simple little module the mounts below the seat that you'll need to move to get it to sit flat. You won't need to extend the wires or even un plug it. I just unbolted it & zip-tied to the down tube behind the rear cylinder (same place as the 2010 Sportster ECM).

I did use some large shrink tube around the module & wires just to conceal it better but it's unnecessary.

But other than that it bolts up. The "tongue" that slides into the forward mount is a tad loose but once the rear bolt is tight it holds fine.

I guess you may need to move your rear bolt to the forward hole but the hole is already there.
