Vintage King and Queen seat on a swing arm sportster?

[SSMF]

Is this possible? Are They only for hardtails? Everytime I come across one I want they say "I no, you cant put that on a swing-arm suspension." I dont see why not.....

You can buy a King/Queen seat made for swingarm bikes:

But you have few choices. The seat has to fit the frame, so no, you can't use a seat made for a rigid and have it fit right.

I bought one thinking it was for a rigid but its for a swingarm. It is with a large pile of parts that I've been collecting (that will not work or just didn't look the way I wanted it to be) putting together my latest build. It is a vintage narrow seat that is in the for sale pile.
