Default 07 FXSTB fork legs on a 12 FLSTC?

I compared the fork leg part numbers between the two models and they are different but i know alot of Harley stuff will cross over. This may be obviously wrong. If so, dont shun me to bad. Im new. 😁

You're better off looking for 2007-later FLST Sliders (NOT FXST)

At least a couple differences...

Your FL fork/slider covers won't cover the Shorter FXST sliders and your fender would be higher (without some sort of Fender adapter)

Thanks alot Multihdhdr! Thats an awesome reply. I really appreciate the tim you put into that.

Want to buy a FXS chrome leg kit? Lol. The description said 07+ softail and the bid was pretty low so i bid real quick on it. I never thought id actually win. Needless to say. I fudged up.��

If you have those new sliders then offer them up against your existing forks. You haven't fudged up anything until you confirm that they really are not suitable!
