Default Fender question

I like the looks of the older fender tips and was wondering if anyone knows if the width of the pre 1986 FL front fenders are the same as the Heritage softail. Thanks

I'm not sure of the year ranges, but I just changed my front fender setup out. My '77 front fender was 8" and I used an '04 Heritage front fender and it was only 6.5" wide. Ended up using the heritage front fender trim but my '77 spears on the sides.
