Default Deuce vs Softail -- parts "will not work"

I have a pair of 2003 Deuces. Too many parts that interest me that are specific for softail but "will not work on deuce". Looking at flush mount digital gas caps but no-one can tell me the reason why these will not work on the deuce. Any ideas??

Thank you for the answers. I am told by the local dealer that they fit physically but apparently they wont work. I will try the rocker ones then..
