Default speedo drive unit question

Can I put a speedo drive unit from a 95 softail custom to a 95 softail heritage ? (I got a 21 inch wheel on my flstc)

It may fit, but if you have an MT90x16" front on the Heritage, the difference in wheel diameter over the tyre is about 2". It is likely the gearing in the correct drives are different, so your speedo will read wrong by around 8%.
