New here on forum and Harley rider to-be at this stage...
It's a heartbreaking choice for me between the bike I need (Heritage) and the one I love (Fat Boy). The heritage simply has all I need for comfortable office commuting and occasional day trips, but the looks of the fat boy...stunning. The thing that I visually dislike about the Heritage are the retro fenders. Especially the front one.
1. First and foremost: Does anyone know if front fenders from other softails fit the heritage (plan to buy new, so post-2018 models)? Like the ones from Fatboy, Low Rider or Standard?
2. Secondly (maybe a longer term project: Can rear fenders of other softails (same swingarm like sport glide, not the wider fat boy or breakout) be fitted on a heritage? I understand this requires changing the lights as well.
I searched all over but couldn't find clear info for the post 2018 softails...
You need to test ride both bikes; they handle very differently. After your test rides, ask yourself how you will use the bike most of time and which handled more confidently for your riding style. Both bikes can have add-ons to address your needs.

Thanks. But thats exactly why I chose the heritage. Fits my need, more nimble, will make more use of it for communiting rather than bar-hopping. And thats also why I hope to be able to so something about the fenders 😉
You may want to consider the larger fenders ...if using it to commute ...will be alot better in rainy cold weather which i think you see alot of where you are ...!!
Good luck ...
just my 2 cents !!!

This! Those sporty vestigial fenders that are so popular wont seem so great once you get caught in a downpour and your front tire is throwing road spray in you face.

True ,but all you have to do is be a little creative and make a mudflap .
