Default Narrow primary on 2018 Fat Bob

Hey all, so im going to install mid controls on my 2018 fat bob. As you know, this requires I change the outer primary cover. So if I have to buy a new one Im thinking maybe I can get one of the narrow covers that they upgraded to in 19-20? Will this bolt right up or am I out of my mind?

Thanks!

There are several narrow covers to pick from on the H-D online parts store.

I have a set of mid controls taken of my wife’s new 2021 standard.

There is no need to buy a new part for mids, you can drill them true, everything is in place, it just need to be drilled out. Another option would be a swap with someone
that does the opposite going from mids to fronts, if I would live near by your place I would have swapped with you, did this on my FXBB.
