Default Exhaust Question

I have a 2013 Fatboy with the 103 engine. A friend has a set of vance and hines big radius from a 2008 heritage 98 engine that he will sell me cheap. I would like to know if they will fit my bike. I think his has 18mm O2 sensors and mine are 12mm. I have ordered 18-12mm adapters but am not sure if this will work. I have emailed vance and hines but not received an answer yet. Any help is wonderful.
Thanks
Barry

Bumping to top. Sorry but hoping to get an answer. Time is running out on the chance to get these exhaust before someone else snags them.
Thanks

I'm no Vance & Hines expert, but I got curious on your question...

According to the Vance & Hines website, the big radius exhaust fits 1986 to 2011 and then 2012 to 2016...

The difference may be in the O2 sensors...The way they list them suggests they don't have both bungs, just year specific bungs (18mm or 12mm).

Make sure it will fit your O2 sensors or you'll have to weld on the appropriate bungs.... which would still be cheaper than buying a new set if you're getting a great price...

Good luck...

J & P Cycles lists two different part #s for a 2013 Fatboy and a 2008 heritage so there may be something different.
