Default 2018 Softail Fork Interchangability
So I have a 2018 softail heritage that needs new forks. I’m looking to go the used route, but I’m finding it hard to come across the 18+ softail models used parts. Does anyone know if the forks on the 18 and up softtails are interchangeable with other models?

Other models like touring models? I seriously doubt it.

Are you doing another salvage bike?

Hey man, no this is actually for my personal bike. I got out of the salvage a little bit ago and only prefer clean title bikes now. Thanks for commenting. Hope you’re well.

I only asked because I figured if you needed new forks it would be because the bike was in a wreck. I remembered reading a thread that you had gotten into doing salvage bikes. FYI, I wrecked one of my bikes and the front forks were bent and needed to be replaced.
