Round of drinks on me.

I need the part number for the stock saddle on a 2002 Heritage Softail.
I got rid of my parts manual when I sold the bike, now trying to sell
this spare seat and would like to provide the part number to prospective
buyers.

You say tomato, I say tomato. Doesn't make much sense when you read it.

Part number for a FLSTS Seat (black trim) per my 2000 softail models
parts catalog is 51793-00. Chicago HD does not show that part number.
Actually - (there is no product that matches the search criteria).
It showed the same thing when I tried 51793-02.

But when I entered just 51793 it lists
51793-99 as FLSTS seat (black trim) $330.00;
and 51793-01 as FLSTS seat $269.95.

I don't know if that helps at all.

Thanks Bear, it does. That, along with Danny's reply, was enough to
determine that it wasn't going to fit a '98 so it was no sale.

    I could be wrong, but I believe the only difference was the side
mounts on the frame.  The 2000-up had a much smaller fastener that was
actually pressed into the seat (and a pain in the ass to get lined up
until the seat broke in properly), whereas the earlier models had
large threads for a separate button-head allen bolt.

    Thing is, the threads in the frame are the same, there's actually
a reducer bolted in (notice the large hex head around where the
smaller threads are), so you can presumably bolt those right into the
older frames.  I'm assuming a newish Evo, with the cutout in the rear
fender that takes a threaded piece and plastic clip to hold it (coarse
thread).  Older models had fine threads cut right into the rear fender
for the rear mount (but believe that stopped some time in the 90s).

    I could be wrong, but it's worth investigating if you have someone
who's interested.

I seem to remember when I installed the Mustang seat on the Heritage I
had to do some fooling with those side mount bolts. If I can get that
guy interested enough to drive 40 miles to look at it I may get a sale.
With the weather we're having he won't want to ride here and I'm not
driving 40 miles to try to sell him a $85.00 seat.
