Default fork preload caps

Hi everyone,
I have an FXDLS dyna and I would like to put fork caps with preload, the stem is 49mm, but most websites tell me that the 49mm caps do not fit on FXDLS but only on normal low rider FXDL.
Isn't the fork the same only in a different color?
Why do they say they're not okay?
Only the RSD site tells me that theirs are fine .... I don't understand ...
Do you know anything about yourself?
Sorry for my writing but I use google translate.
Thank you all

Because the FXDLS uses a Cartridge on one side and it attaches to the Stock Cap

So you say that one of the two caps is connected to the cartridge?
I understand right?
Why does RSD say they are doing well?

Yes, that's what I'm saying

Provide a link to the RSD versions. They are probably listed incorrectly

Thanks for paving the way for my problem.
So is there a kit for my fork?
Bitubo makes a kit with cartridges, can that be fine?

Are saying you want to use Bitubo cartridges in your FXDLS forks?

Well, no matter what, you'll be able to use those cartridges by replacing some of your existing Harley Cartridge side parts with parts that are same as used on the other side.

I'll look at the instructions later today and comment further
