Can you help me identify my seat?
Hi all, I have a 2013 Street Glide I bought used. I assumed it had the stock seat as the seat is embossed with the HD logo, etc. However, I recently purchased Harley's adjustable rider backrest and can't get my seat to go one over it. The assembly hits the front of the area going up to where the split in the seat is as if the seat pan is pushed back. Everything on HD and everything else I can find says this should be a direct fit. The only numbers I can find on the seat aren't a part number. Can anyone tell me what this seat is and if getting a stock one would fix the problem? Thank you!

Too tired now to take my seat off and look but isn't there an adjustment on the backrest bracket. Even if not there is the way you may be trying to get the backrest onto the bracket? May take a different angle approach? Take the seat off and eyeball it with where it goes vs where the bracket is. I gave a backrest and mount to a friend a couple years ago who has a 13 Street Glide.
Seems he had to make some minor modification (stuff he bought from HD) to make it work. Good luck.

That's probably an old Sundowner or a stock Electraglide seat. If it's '08 or earlier it won't fit your bike. The base of your backrest should have 4 sets of holes so it can be moved forward or back. The split in the seat tells you it should work with a backrest. I have never had a problem with the backrest mount on my '09 Streetglide and I currently use a 2017 Streetglide seat and a 2009 Sundowner seat.
