    Can anyone tell me whether the solo  seat from a post '18 Street Bob will fit on a '19 Sport Glide?

    Mate the only way to find out, unless someone has experience, is to get the seat to the bike and try it. I’ve purchased 4 seats from HD said to fit my bike and none of them did. HD guaranteed they’d fit yet none of them did and then I had to wrangle a bloody refund. Took three months.

    Yes, unfortunately that situation is not uncommon.

    It's a pity as I'm looking for another seat for my lowrider S & could of swapped with you, but I thinking of getting a Saddleman step-up seat instead

    I have the Saddlemen road sofa for two up riding. It is very comfortable.
    I have an opportunity to purchase a Street Bob seat for $150 which allows me to have yet another look available if it fits.

    The factory Sport Glide seat is neither fish nor fowl. The pillion is really too small for most people to sit on and apart from the strap there's nowhere to hang on. Having a sissy bar helps and the larger Saddlemen seat is a significant improvement.
