04 Chopper seat ?

[RVH]

Sup guys, long time no post on here. . . .I just bought an 04 chopper with the RT frame from the original owner. It is the original seat but it lacks about 2" meeting the tank. Did a search on here but dont see what I'm looking for. Anyone have an idea as to the correct part number that will fit atleast alittle closer to the tank and hooks in the slot? Thanks

Can your adjust the bracket on the bottom of the seat backwards a little to help close the gap? I believe there are two alan bolts that hold the bracket on.

Thanks. . . . Dogstyle, there is no adjustment for the bracket but I can slide the seat all the way forward so it meets the tank(and hooks into the slot like its supposed to). Problem is, that makes it about 2" short of touching the fender. I do not like the look of the gap and its dangerous as the front of the seat can move. In other words, when the seat is suctioned down properly on the fender you can just pick the front of the seat up. The bracket doesn't catch.

Here ya go. Might actually be closer to an inch and half but I can still pull the front of the seat up with one finger

Posted almost at the same time, sorry. Does yours pull up while still suctioned down?

No. The front gizmo slides under that bracket and no pull up.
