Yeh the mounts are different but it looks like one could fit upside down then just rotate the end cap.

Hopefully the above poster will reply about which fatboy he’s talking about

Not sure what rotating the end caps would do? I'm wondering if the FatBoy poster had to do anything different to make them work?

It would only be to rotate the logo back to the front of the end can again is all.

Looking at them the mounts are on the bottom rather than the top but the end cap can be rotated anyway
Vey tempted but would love to know someone else has fitted them

These are the actual slip ons I bought from a member on here . This is His bike they worked perfectly didn't have to change anything .

How did you mount them as the mounts are definitely in different positions?

Would love pics of how you did it

Gotcha, thanks for that. They aren’t for a post 18 bike, they are the mufflers for a pre 18 softail I think.

I agree about the black heat shield looking better btw 👍
