Question On Street Glide Seats

[FLHX4Me]

Will a STOCK 2011 Street Glide seat fit on a 2008 Street Glide? I've googled this question, and got so many different answers I'm not sure what to believe. Some say it fits fine, some say NO, because the frame is wider, and the seat will hit the fender. I'm looking for a stock seat for my 2008 Street Glide, and can find nothing on ebay except '09-15 seats. There are tons of those for sale. I'd love to buy one, but not sure if they'll fit without messing up my fender. Thoughts?

Also, anyone know the price of a new OEM 2008 stock seat? Dealer said he could order me one, but wasn't sure of the price without looking it up. I can get one off ebay for less than $175, but if it won't fit, then it's wasted money. Help?

Went to the dealership......... my dealer said........ "'09 and up, the frame is wider, so those seats definitely won't fit right." Well, the dealer was right. They "fit" on my '08, but they didn't "fit right". The '09 and up seats "hung over" the frame rails on the sides instead of riding on them. Parts guy said eventually that would cause the seat to sag and start hitting the paint on the bags. Made sense. After looking at it, I can see that happening.

I then tried a Sundowner, it still sat me too close. (How do you guys ride with those?) Tried a tallboy, that sat me too far back, so I gave up, and just ordered a 2008 OEM.

I just had my stock SG seat reworked by Mean City Cycles. It was definitely worth the money! I had it narrowed at the thighs, lowered, had the seat pocket made deeper, had memory foam added to the riders sitting area and had a custom cover made with diamond perforated panels with blue stitching.
