It will work on any FLH bike, the frames are all the same. As for the pizza box holder, you can mount the air bladder in the saddlebag also.

The police seats are very comfy.

Yep, only thing you have to worry about is the setup is slightly different for the 6 gallon tank on the 08 and later bikes. I don't know if it's just the front mount, or the seat itself as well.

I just put a police seat takeoff on my bike yesterday, and put the air tank in the right saddlebag. It is comfier, but has less fore/aft support. Now when the throttle is pinned it's a bit of work to hang on to the bike.

I may still keep mine, or ditch it and go for a corbin classic solo. Not 100% sure yet. Need some longer ride time on it first, since it's 40 and rainy here...

Right on, thank you. They're Vance & Hines slipon fishtails for the 08-up bikes, I think the only difference on the newer version is the heat shield is bigger to mate more cleanly with the larger factory head pipe.

Nice set up, I like that. I do believe you may be able to mount the buddy seat rail to that set up also, I have the rail and mounting kit, but not the seat to try it on.

I'm running a Sundowner solo, pretty decent seat.

Last time a checked, Corbin didnt make a seat with the rail for the newer models, I think 08 and up. I'm guessing it had something to do with the wider frame or tank. Its been a while since I looked at it so that may have changed.
