    If you don't know the answer or don't want to know the answer, fine. I am kinda getting tired of opinions that have nothing to do with the original question.

    I already have a seat. I have wondered about this for a couple of years and would still like to know. That's that, Jack!
    That has always bothered me also. When I ask a question, answer it and thats it. If I happen to ask for an opinion, than that changes the response and all responses are welcome .

    I'm picking up a friends Wing seat tonight and will pull my seat off and see if the Wing seat fits. I'll try to get pictures of them both for anyone else that just wants to know if... the Wing seat will work.

    My latest realization is that the rear deck may have to be modified for a wing seat to fit. It just seems that the holes should line up, otherwise. Let us know!

    FYI for those interested. Wing vs F6B seat

    Turns out the seat I picked up was an Ultimate off an 08 Wing not a stock seat off a new Wing. You will see a gap along the bottom of the seat, that is because I didn't get a picture while the bolts were in. In the picture the seat was just sitting in place..

    The Wing seat will sit in place and bolt up BUT as we figured, BUT the rear of the seat pan will need to be cut and narrowed to access the F6B saddlebag latches also need to be made a bit longer to cover the area where the Wings Trunk would be.

    All in all the Wing seat can be used but will take some major changes to the seat pan, foam and cover all at the rear of the seat. Mainly due to the saddlebag latches.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! That's what we wanted to know.

    It actually fit better than I thought it might. But, that is a pretty big gap to fill somehow ... Hmmmm .....

    When someone says it cant be done, it usually means someone else will make it done.

    To answer my own self-
    I was just checking frames on eBay-
    They are the same back to at least 2002 afaik or can tell.
    So- the seat should actually fit .
    One might have to add some other gold wing stuff to the F6B.
    As soon as I find a seat I will try it, as all my bikes end up with split personalities.
