I believe they will, but remember your going to have to get them as a set as the Fat Bob's tubes are 49mm and not 41 like yours.
Its also setup for dual disks so you might want to see about getting the wheel w/rotors, master cylinder and brake calipers with it.
Just don't expect it to handle as well as a Fat Bob when your done. A Softy is longer with more rake in the steering head while the the rear suspension was never meant to run through the twisties really hard.

Street Bob = Mid Glide & midglide front wheel

Forks on streetbob is 800 mm long and the Softail is shorter by an inch or two (28 1/2" for the Heritage).
