    Solo seats were available for all K and Sportster models from '52 through the '60s. There are basically two seat T-bars, The early T shaped one and the '54 and later Y shaped one. The Y shaped one should fit your bike. Just look in the parts book.

        Mark,
        There is only one seat mounting T bar for ALL models from '54 to '66. All the seat and tank mount brackets are the same on all frames. Look at yours closely to see if it has been modified or repaired. Many were cut off in the chopper days and it may be repaired incorrectly. All the mounting pieces are the same for K-Model, XL, XLH, and XLCH. No variations other than the '52-'53 T bar and seat. Do you have good pictures of both of yours?
