welcome.... they get converted both ways all the time but you need the whole front end not just the fender and wheel. The FX forks are two narrow. shouldn't be too hard to find a nice 76 FLH, even a liberty edition if you've got the coin... good luck!

I wasn't looking to buy. I was just asking a question about shovelhead fenders. Didn't mean to offend anyone and if asking if the touring fenders fit fx bikes, I apologize.

Well Now...how the hell did this get at the bottom???
I don't believe apologies are necessary...I would just like to know where the original post went????

Matters not...Joe has answered the question accurately...
Tho I recall a narrow glide fender shaped like the FL front fender...My friends did it by "sectioning" a Wide fender back in the day...But, I don't think anyone has went that route in a Long time.
