I thinks s too
That is what I'm thinking, just wanted to make sure. I would just get a Memphis shade, but they are ABS. I was thinking hand laid fiberglass might be a better fairing than injected ABS.

I'd say the biggest reason they won't fit is because the Fatboy, Heritage, etc have the FL front end whereas the slim uses an FX front end. Any Harley with that FX front end regardless of model should be interchangable, but I doubt you'll have luck with the fat FL front end stuff fitting. I could be wrong, but that's my thought on it.
Also, the only part I could find that is different between a Slim and a Fatboy, on the front end aside from finishes, was the front panel of the tin behind the headlight. Forks, trees, brackets all appear to be the same.
Harley is just lazy when they update their site. They still have wrong parts listed for Breakouts and I contacted them about that over a year ago.

Thank you
The Slim DOES NOT use a FX front end. It is most definitely an FL front end.
