Default Headlight Nacelle

Has anyone put a nacelle on their’18 up Softail? Haven’t found a kit listed for the newer bikes and am pondering trying the Drag Specialty kit. Thanks

The entire front end of the '18 up Softail is completely different from any previous Harley front end. Forks, triple trees, fork leg spacing-nothing is the same, so I doubt you'll have any luck with that kit. Harley-Davidson threw away just about any interchangeability with the past when they designed these new Softails and the aftermarket has shown very little interest in making any of the cool stuff to fit the new bikes.

Not a nacelle, I just rammed a 5.75" bucket from dynas and the like on my 22 LRS. Got rid of the silly little sons of anarchy speed screen that comes stock.

Thanks for the replies. Guess I’ll have to measure out the nacelle on my ‘72 FLH for a reference point and go from there.

I looked really hard for a long time last year to find what you are looking for and I just don’t think there is one.
