Tin swap question
I have a 2012 fxdc with a custom paint job on it and a ton of miles. Looking at a good deal on a 2016 street Bob with only 7500 miles. Only way I'd buy the new one is if I can put my my custom painted fenders and tank on the new bike. Then put the new tins on my old bike and sell it.
Will 2012 tins and tank fit on a 2016 street Bob frame?

The fenders themselves will switchover fine.
The gas tanks are two seperate part numbers because they are different. Streetbobs has dual gas caps. The Superglide has a center fill cap on the regular Superglide. The top plates may be the same if the dashes are the same.
