Switchback Accessories
I have a 2012 FLD Switchback. I have recently fitted the front fender chrome trim and strips (Front) off a Softail Delux and they are a perfect fit.
I am looking at fitting the chrome trim from a Road King on the rear end of the front fender. Can anyone tell if it will be a perfect match? I suppose what I am asking is do the Switchback and late model have the same front fenders?
My local Australian HD dealer can't tell me.

Something unique and different from anything we've seen so far.
Maybe something razor-cut but not overdone.
A 21st century design with an underlying 60's vibe would do it for me.

I looked into all kinds of all kinds of options on existing fender trim together with a local custom builder, none of it works right so far.

We even tried cutting a couple of them to try and make them fit. I think most were from a RK though. they all were just a little off.

That looks great and appears to fit really good too.
Wakes that fender up nicely.
I asked what we tried, it was all kuryakyn. I also thought it was various aftermarket road king trim. I stand corrected for my earlier post about it not working. Obviously, hd trim IS working.
Congrats on the new fld, RAR.
