FL Softail Fender on a Fat Boy

I am considering changing the stock front fender on my 08 Fat Boy with stock a 17" wheel to the FL softail fender (Heritage/Deluxe style, no holes) in the accessories book, part# 59054-96. Has anyone done this, and is it as easy as a direct bolt on. If you have pictures to post, and opinions, that would be great.

Check out Anubisss pictures. He just done the swap a couple months back. He also has a 21 inch front wheel that really fills that fender!

Do you have any close pictures of the front wheel so I can see how it sets?
