it will fit.
seats changed in 2000, they are better.
you can also have yours reworked for maybe a hundred to one-fifty
or go go with an aftermarket

Agree-it WILL fit, however, I bought a new 2000 seat and was nearly crying from pain in an hour. I sold it that same day and went back to the old one. Each rear is different.

I am 5'9', 170, not large at all, and your description is correct. You sit in it more than on it. Also gets you lower on the bike. It will work fine with your present passenger seat. enjoy. Hoser |

All STD & Tourer seats are the same mounting for all years, The I/S seats have the same mountings but are a little shorter to accommodate the larger fuel tank. I have put my Ultimate seat from my I/S on the STD many times for long solo rides, it just has a little gap between the seat nose and the tank.

The 97 Tourer I just bought has an upgraded seat (2000 Valkyrie) by the previous owner, for just that reason (the old seat sucked). I don't have an opinion on the seat yet, as the riding season in MN is a few months away. I do know the Ultimate seats are the best, but kinda pricey. My 2 cents. I wish I could give you an opinion, but damn Spring is taking it's time getting here. AZ is sounding pretty good to me  |
