Generally speaking bike saddles aren't specific for one particular bike, so you don't have to look for a saddle from western flyer - unless you're looking to do an all-out restoration. What you need to keep track of though is that there are a few different seat post diameters and a couple of different ways of clamping the saddle to the seat post.

The Western saddle was made for the cowboys, who needed something to help anchor the rope to after roping a cow. This is where the Western saddle was invented, designed for comfort for long days of hard riding in the saddle, and for usefulness, which is why it has all the little straps to tie things to, perfect room for saddle bags and such, and with the saddle horn having the direct purpose of dallying the rope. The English saddle was not used by cowboys, and therefore, there was no use for a saddle horn, so there is nothing there.
