Default Swaping rear fenders?

I havent been too crazy about the bob fender on my 08 Night Train since I got it, but was in love with the rest of the bike so I overlooked it. Anyways I was wondering if a stock fender from another soft tail (say a Fat Boy) would bolt on or if I'd need new fender struts? Also would my seat work (stocker and La Berra bare bones) with a fatty fender? Besides the brake light and licence plate mount is there anything else I should take into consideration?

im fairly sure a fatboy fender will go with your struts. i think you'll have to use a 06 or earlier fb fender, since 07 and up went wider. i've got a 2000 in the garage. i cane-mail pics and hole measurements if it will help.

His Train has the 200 tire just like the '07 and up FB. Go for it man!

LOL, sorry Chief....but I think you meant "too bad mine isnt flat black"!!! Do they even make the FatBoy in black denim? I dont remember seeing any. Guess I'll be paying for paint either way.

Thanks for the help yall. I've been tossing around going with either the Heartland kit or putting a Fatboy fender on. Now that I havent been told 'no it wont work and your a idiot for asking' I'll start pricing things to see what kind of differance there will be. I sure appreciate yall!

no I said what I meant.... if yours were Black Pearl, I'd be interested talking to you about a swap - I just kinda "overspent" my bike budget for the next couple of months and can't afford a paint job right now.
