Lightbulb Putting '02 seat on older bike ... need pic please.

I picked up a newer seat for my 94.. I have the "tongue" on the frame. The new seat has the "tongue" on the seat. I need to see how the newer seats "tongue" slides into the frame. Did they redo the tank hold-down strap..or is it the same with a slot cut into the frame and tank strap? If anyone could please post a pic or PM me one it would be appreciated...

and..I dont think I can modify the new seat to the old..

Okay, here are a few photos from my 2004 Road King, but only because you asked nicely.

The opening is in the frame, below the rear gas tank mounting bolt, approx. 1 5/8" below the center of the mounting bolt hole. The opening is approx. 5/8" H x 1 1/8" wide.

Hope this helps.
