Default OEM part fitment from year-to-year

The part fitment on Harley’s 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 doesn’t 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.

What's the matter with your original shift peg?

Nothing apparently. The OP wanted the different shift peg. It fit, now he wants the matching brake pedal. The matching brake pedal doesn’t fit.
