I tried my old road zeppelin seat that fit on my 2010 ultra classic and it can fit onto my 21 tri glide. There are only 2 difficulties: 1) connect the power (see attached photo) and 2) being able to get the seat hold down bolt in place, my hands are just to big to fit in there.

Looking at the photos it sees the red clip holds a power supply that has 2 pins. The seat has the old male plug with 4 pins but only 2 pins are used. Possibly I might be able to cut off the old 4 pin plug and add a "new" female 2 pin plug to fit the male plug held by the red clip. Does anyone know if this is reasonable and what such a style of plug is called?

The hold down bolt might have to become a simple pin that the bracket at the end of the seat slides down over. What do you think?20240608_090628[1].jpg20240608_090721[1].jpg
 
I think I may have found a way to hook up electrically. There is a power port under the right side cover and perhaps PN 69201599A wiring harness kit might work. The harness looks like it can power multiple devices, therefore won't be a waste.

The wiring kit worked with my old Zeppelin seat. I need a lot longer seat bolt than the one that came with the trike to bolt my seat in place, otherwise the old seat fits perfectly. Just can't get my hand in the remaining space. Going to wait until I get a tour pack relocator, as that may be the ticket.
