Hello everyone, I found an ad up on craigslist for a king and queen style seat that was made for a 1994 vulcan 88. As soon as I started to email the seller he ghosts me and the ad is down. The problem is that now I am dead set on putting that type of seat on the slap together franken bike that is slowly coming to life in my garage.


My question is, will seats from the vn800 fit the vn1500 of the same year. In other words, If I find a seat for a 1994 vn800 would it fit on the Vulcan 88 or VN1500A that I have.

Any help will be greatly appreciated and feel free to chime in with ideas on possibly different seats and styles that you guys like on the older bikes with more of a chopper vibe that I should look into.

Be safe, Ride safe, Have a great day!

Thanks Tourer! I appreciate all the information, I guess I will buy an 800 seat and see what happens. I'll let you all know.
