Default Windshield ?

I have a 2026 Heritage Solo and I'm looking for a windshield. If I see one that came off a 2018+ FatBoy, would it fit? I know the cutout may be square instead of half circle, but is the mounting bracket the same?

See if you can come up with the HD part number and if it crosses. No idea if those different year FL front ends are the same width or not.

Does it have to be an HD windshield? I am running a Windvest.

For grins I just checked HD's website. Their King Size (part #57400332) that shows as fitting a 2026 Heritage shows as not fitting a 2018 Fat Boy.
For comparison here are photos from the website. As you've probably guessed, the squarish cutout is for the Fat Boy. The other is for Heritage. Side by side the frames look different to me. The bolt hole layout is different and the Heritage model has longer vertical legs.
