It's much better looking in person and I think it will fill a hole most people didn't think existed.

They should fit. It's the same frame that's been used since '06 on the Dyna's. I'm interested to see what a set of them will cost.

Some things are lost in translation I guess. It costs the MoCo exactly nothing to build a 103 vs. the 96. And that really is my whole point. Sure, retrofitting those parts is going to cost more and that's definitely part of the Corp. strategy.
Delete the chrome (expensive) on the motor, add the bags and windshield, oh yea, and the running boards... swap one FL front end for a Dyna front end (at the factory) and charge an extra 3 thou. Good idea!

$296.
As for the new FLD........ Although it's a Dyna, it's also a Softail. Hardbags color matched will run ya at least $1200. How much for a 7' or bigger headlight? Floorboards another $300? Larger front tire...... and the 103 and windshiels run around$295. Prices have gone up for all aspects of production......so I'm surprised it doesn't cost more.

I know one thing, they wont fit any Dyna with Mid Controls without extensive modification. I guarantee that if it were that easy to retro fit floorboards on Dyna's with forwards, all the aftermarket parts dealers like Kury/ kirk/ JP etc would have offered them. I looked for 3 YEARS to find floorboards for my bike....... and NOTHING. Not only nothing for Dyna's with mids, but Dyna's with forwards. So I would really check things out before you run out and buy a pair. Just my opinion
