Is it possible to use a Custom seat on a Deluxe easily?

Before I go hacking stuff apart, has anyone tried this before? There's a slick cafe seat on eBay that's made for a custom, and I really like the look.... but I have a Deluxe.

The deluxe has a wider rear end. Are you planning on altering the frame? If so it won't matter.

I think I know the seats your speaking of. I also saw some replica and custom seat made in Viet Nam very nicely done. I too have a Deluxe so my question it the same. The seat was $119.00

I saw those seats on Ebay too, and messaged the guy to see if he had pics of them on a CX but he did not.   They look real nice, anybody have one?

I also asked him if they would fit the Deluxe, he replied to send a picture of the CX500 Deluxe seat pan (underside) I didn't do that yet. My thought is, I don't care for the basic shape of the Deluxe seat. The way it drops on the sides following the frame contour.
