It can come off a "softail" by definition but not necessarily a fatboy. Technically speaking, several two disc models could be considered "softail." Won't fit a fatty, though. And it's heartbreaking to see another fatboy lose what is most distinctive about them....the wheels!!!

I'm pretty sure your Fatboy wheels are drilled to accept a rotor on both sides.Look at the right side of your wheel,there's a cover bolted on there with a pattern like the rotor has.Maybe this guy got tired of looking at that goofy hub cap thingy on his Heritage and converted to dual discs.If they are in fact off a Heritage you can probably just lose the extra rotor and cover the holes with a piece like the one on your present wheels or----- one of those sweet hub caps,but I could be wrong,I've been smoking some good stuff
