The part fitment on Harleys form year-to-year drives me nuts sometimes. Case in point:
I bought an OEM Nostalgic Shift Peg for my 18 Deluxe. This is almost a near universal fit on any Harley model/any year. Now, they make a matching brake pedal pad to it, but of course, it doesnt fit my bike. It will fit on a 17 Deluxe, but not an 18.
Damn you, Harley (shakes fist at sky).
I wonder what the fitment issue is on the 18, and if I can just buy one and mod it somehow.
