Bagger Seat Conversion 2010 to 2005
First time posting a thread, take it easy on me if this has been discussed already. I have an 2005 Road Glide, been running the stock seat for over 30k miles, she is starting to get a little tired. I still like the stock seat for around town, so this is just for long trips, so YES I am trying to be cheap about it. So I was looking on EBAY for a stock, low miles Ultra or Electra seat, but most up there are for 2008 and newer. So the question, has anyone tried to convert an 2008 or newer seat to fit 2007 or older frame/seat mount? Is the entire frame different, or did they just change the front seat mount? And if just the front seat mount, could it be swapped out to fit the older bikes? All thoughts and responses greatly appreciated.

Yes, can do the older seats, but my eye is on the newer seats, that HD has been kind enough not to make for the older bikes. Makes me wonder if they changed the seat mount just so the pre-2008 models become obsolete. They seem to be getting worse with not supporting bikes more than 5 years old. Not a part to be found in the new catalog for an evo model. Go figure.
