Default Softail frame question

Does anyone know if the softail lowrider s and softail fat bob share the same frame/swingarm? I am looking at swaping a fat bob monoshock with the bungking monoshock riser to my lowrider s. I know that the fat bob shock is taller than the lowrider s. Was wanting to get the extra lift in the rear by swapping the monoshock as well as the riser extension.

The maximum shock length is 13.5". Any longer and the swingarm will hit the transmission case (based on my Heritage model).

The actual monoshock I picked up for the swap is from a Heritage which I know is the same length as the Fat bob. The reason I was asking if the frame/swingarm are the same on fat bob and lowrider s is because I know people who have installed the bungking monoshock riser on the fat bob without any issues. So in theory if they share the same frame/swingarm then it should fit on my lowrider s with the Heritage shock. Just curious if anyone knows for sure before I pull the trigger on the bungking extension and a spring compressor.
