Default Electra Glide seat?

I found a seat id like to purchase. It looks like a flh solo seat but im not sure and neither is the seller.
Can anyone tell me just by looking at the photos If that seat is indeed for a harley touring bike.
Also how do you attach a solo seat to these bikes? Im guessing a bracket is needed to attach the seat to the two bolts on the fender.

Ill stop bugging people with these random questions once my shop manual arrives

there's not enough "seat" forward of that seat's front mounting bracket to be for an Electraglide (see my attachment). It might be for a Road King.

Looks more like a softail seat to me. If you hold it so the cushion is level I reckon the underside will follow the line of a softail frame and flip up at the rear in front of the fender. Is there a part number on that white label?

Can't PM you most likely due to having 9 posts but live close by and have a couple nice seats I can no longer use. Depends on the year of your bike???

this is the type of bracket used for some solo seats.




that doesn;t look like a touring model seat- have you tried mounting it?

Thanks guys. I ended up passing on the seat. I didn't get a chance to see it in person but didn't want to risk it not fitting. I did find a Saddlemen Pro Tour Seat I'm wondering if it looks similar to a badlander. Does anyone have any pics of a saddleman on their flh?

Mike my bike is a 2000 model flhtc. What types of seats do you have? I am looking for either a solo or more of a lower profile seat...
Im guessing It will not let me PM due to the fact that I joined about 4 days ago.

The seat on my bike in the sig pic is off a RK. Any FLH seat from a similar model year will work.


As a matter of fact I will sell you that particular seat and pillion if you are interested. You can use it with or without the passenger seat. I even have the little filler panel you will need
