Softail fender interchangeability?
Hi all,
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...

Thanks. But that’s exactly why I chose the heritage. Fits my need, more nimble, will make more use of it for communiting rather than bar-hopping. And that’s also why I hope to be able to so something about the fenders 😉…

This! Those “sporty” vestigial fenders that are so popular won’t seem so great once you get caught in a downpour and your front tire is throwing road spray in you face.
