Default Fitting Tri-bar Tailight for Wide Glide

I'm assuming that HD only offers this taillight for the Fat Bob because it will not fit the Wide Glide fender directly. My question is has anyone tried to modify it so that it will fit, can it be done?

fat bob fender is probably about 1 inch wider.
just looking at the tri bar and how it fills out the fat fender, i can't imagine any mod that would make it fit

I think it is too wide. This may be an alternative though http://www.rsarcdd.net/html/taillight.html

The newer WG fenders, and the FatBob rear fenders sure do look the same to me. That surprises me that they're not.
