I'm looking for replacement fender badges for my Deluxe. And, I know what you're thinking. "Oh god, here's another dipshit who doesn't know how to use the search feature!". But, believe me I have and I've turned up bupkis. I've dug deep into the archives here, looked at threads so old that the images have long since been replaced by that broken link-cat picture that calls me a dumbass for digging up deceased threads, searched 9 ways to Sunday, read through everything I could find in the Softail Forum using specific key words, and still nothing.

I've also searched the far reaches of the interwebs trying to find the answer but either my Google-Fu isn't as strong as it used to be -OR- the Googletards of the world have added so many unrelated keywords to trick you into viewing their sites for pubic hair polish and butthole bleach that the web has become a massively convoluted pit of nonsensical monkey turds.

I have learned that some of the Road King fender badges interchange between models and, I'm assuming that for the sake of ease in production, Harley wouldn't make a specific fender for only the Deluxe model.

I've seen all kinds of cool and dumb fender badge styles out there but there's no information regarding them either fitting or covering up the existing holes on the Deluxe fender.

I'm so numb and confounded at this point that I'm throwing in the towel, humbly biting the bullet, and asking for help because I'm apparently pouring the weakest sauce I can find all over this issue.

So, here goes. Can any of you fine, outstanding, handsome, knowledgeable (or any other flattering term that may apply) fellow enthusiasts out there, please instruct this stupid *** old fart as to wether or not any Harley or aftermarket fender badging will fit the bill for me?

I'm looking for something "Duo-Glideish" or maybe one of those nifty, scallopy doo-dads to replace this Deluxe badge, leaning hard toward the Duo-Glide side though. Hell, I'd put a Plymouth Neon emblem on there just to do away with the Deluxe badge because I hate is so much.

In return for your help, I will place a ring of candles on my garage floor, set in the middle, and invoke the Harley spirits to bless upon you a never ending supply of non-skunky beer and all the nekkid boobies or buff-chested, hunky firemen (I don't judge) you care to look at.

Thanks guys!

You can find Duo-Glide emblems through V-Twin, J&P Cycle, E-bay, and probably even from HD ... no idea if they will cover or fill the existing holes on your fender.

Do I still get the ring of candles?

 

Absolutely, but I've been drinkin' -AND- the wife told me that if I want to do any conjuring, I have to take it out into the driveway, so... who knows what you're gonna end up with.

 

I was looking a couple years ago and found that the Fat Boy fender trim fits the Deluxe but I believe needed a couple new holes in the fender.

 

In case anyone is interested, after a whole lot of digging around in the softail forum, I found this gem that answered my question directly. Maybe this can help someone else with the same question.

Here's the pic schlacker attached to the original post:

 

Sorry I didn't come across your post earlier & save that digging around on the forum.
I'm curious if the new Deluxe emblems on the '16 & '17 models will fit the older models like mine? I kind of like them.

 

I can't help but I sure enjoyed reading the original post. Lol.

 

But it ain't a duo glide?

 

I would like to have a custom script. Something no one else has.

 

No it's not, but I wanted to use the tank & fender emblems that Harley was using in 1958-the year of my birth.
