So the seat base are different for the later bikes? I just looked up part numbers and it looks like from 2001 and newer are different.

Yes, the seat shape and profile is identical through the years, it's the mounting posts that differ.
'01 and up have have more distance between the rubber mount knobs.

My relatively recent experience with Sargent was
quite different from his....and others.
I have loads of photos which clearly show far more than I can adequately express in font. Those interested can PM me for info.
