883 Seat question ???

Just picked up a 2 upseat from an 2007, 883 Custom for $50.00.
Will there be an issue mounting this seat to a 2007, 883 XL?

I don't think so.. but it only takes a second to get the seat off.. just one screw and slide it off. Go put it on and let us know.. if so, sounds like you got a good deal!!!

it should fit just fine. the only difference you might notice is the 883C seat may be a little wider at the tank than the seat your removing..

installed seat . only issue is that the seat does not go all the way to the tank as the other seat did. This must be due the the larger tank on the custom ??

that is correct. the custom tank is a little longer than the peanut tank.
