You have to fill the hole in the rear fender & move the ECM for that to work.

Electronic Control Module
It is your bikes computer, on yours it is mounted in a hole under the seat, so no
a 48 seat will not work. And a 48 seat looks cool but is not comfortable at all.

I put a cover on my '09 Iron and poweder coated it to match and put a 48 seat on it.
Bought this without the leather covering for $50, drilled a hole in it where the 48 seat mounted & welded a nut to the back side of it then had it poweder coated.

put the ecm in the battery side cover.
