Default 07 sportster seat

anyone know what the difference is between a '06 and an '07 Sporty seat is? HD catalog shows that the '05/'06 won't fit the '07. other than fuel engection, the 1200c's look identical.

The front tongue tab doesn't go up under the tank, but on a bracket about 2 inches back. Also, the pre 07 seat will not clear the control module under the seat.

Can't believe they didn't take it back. Not very goodCS imo. I've alwaysthought that car makers make minor changesin their products to have an exclusive parts market for a time till the aftermarket buisnesses catch up. Looks like HD is no different.

Wow. So the guy got chewed out by the manager for selling you the wrong one; then they wouldn't allow you to return it? [sm=WTFsgign.gif]

They dont sell lepera at the harley shop huh? You must have gotten off of ebay.

Not too professional to yell at a junior person in front of everybody. Take him to the office.
Thats just my 2 cents

yeah i did not get it from the dealer i was just there picking up some other things and was talking to the parts manager about the seat and the other guy spoke up and said yeah i talked to you how do you like the seat that is when the manager went off on him. i actually waited around until the manager was gone and apologized to the guy.
