Default Will a softail tank emblem fit on a dyna tank?

I had my tank repainted and decided to go with the bar and shield meddallion on the tank. It is normally on the softail slim. My bike is currently in the paint shop so I cannot check to see if it will work or not or if I will have issues. I'm wondering if the shapes of the tanks will be close .....Anyone know or have any idea or thoughts?

Should be pretty close, if not a perfect fit.

I didn't cross reference part numbers or anything, but don't the Fat Bob and the Wide Glide use the same emblem?

i'm not sure about the fat bob tank. I am going to be putting it on a 2015 street bob tank.

I think the Wide Glide and the Street Bob use the same tank, so if it fits the Wide Glide, it should fit the Street Bob. Again, I didn't check part numbers or anything.

I just looked up some part numbers the wide glide does indeed use the bar and shield logo. But, it has a different part number and is a smaller version than the larger one on the softail slim. Hopefully the tank curvature and shape is close enough to work though.

Default Tank Emblems

I have a softail bar and shield on my Dyna Bob and it fits perfectly. You just have to move it around until you find the sweet spot.

Nice man! I appreciate the response! Makes me feel better about buying a pair of emblems for 100 bucks.
