Default Rear fender change

Hi all fellow LR riders !
Does anyone knows if you could put the rear fender of a pre-2017 fatboy on the FXLR or the FLSB to have a more classic look ?

I think it could work with the matching struts ... but what would happen for the seat fitment then ?

Thank you guys !
Ride safe !

I suspect that the suspension travel would make it difficult. But anything is possible with the correct metalworking skills.

Thank you for you answers guys.
I think I may just buy the struts and a used Fatboy fender and just try it.

Now, to go along that mod I'd like to put white walls tyres but coudn't find ones O.o

As anyone here put white walls on his Low Rider ?
(especially the rear)

I'm not sure to understand why you gave me that link but the search engine came up empty :-/

To be honest, I'm asking you Low Rider and Sport Glide guys because I plan on putting the same rear tyre as you on my Heritage.

Don't be, thank you for your input anyway :-)

I'm really surprised how difficult it is to find tyres of brands websites.
Dunlop is not even listing the new FXLR and Metzeler is just showing OEM replacement and not really their entire range.

Or maybe I'm not doing this right ...
