Who has shimmed their Std./Tourer seat for an I/S tank?

[John Schmidt]

Have a guy wanting to know how to do it. Needs to put a Std. seat on his I/S, apparently is a solo rider. Has already sold the trunk off it.

The ones I have seen shim the seat bracket (on the seat ) with washers or nuts...
and that doesn't mean me......

It can easily be done by adding longer bolts and washers,spacing the latch to where it will go into the lock . I have done it on a Corbin or two. I now have a Ultimate King Bigboy on my Interstate that was made for a Standard or Tourer, It fits with No Modifications.

I put an early standard seat on my I/S. I did not do anything other than simply install it. Looks like it belongs there. I have not tried the later model standard seat, but I will as son as I can find one.

I have a later model Std./Tourer seat and there's no way you can add spacers. The "U" shaped latch sticking out the bottom isn't accessible, it protrudes through the bottom of the pan from inside. I don't recall how the early ones are made....are they bolted on from the outside?

I just took a 2000 & newer Standard seat and put it on my interstate with no problem and no modifications.

So I guess he just needs to put it on his Bike and Ride.

when i installed the I/S tank on my tourer, i shimmed my corbin so it wouldnt rub on the tank using Bert's advice as mentioned in  his first post above. spacers and it went right in .
