RE: Swapping Tins
Fire I did it. I went from a FXD to a FXDB. It's not hard but you WILL need the manual. Disconnect the fuel line before you lift the tank off very important. The pump and filters are a little tricky to get out. I changed handle bars at the same time and ran wires internally just take your time.

Rear fender. Remove tailight.
Wires have to come out of the fittings.
(explained here - https://www.hdforums.com/fb.asp?m=2711998 )
Pull the main wiring through conduit
then back thru the new fender.
Careful, dont overtighten the four fender bolts on reinstall.
