Default extreme makeover

Would it be possible to mount heritage fenders and big forks on my standard? I know the front wheel size is probably different. But could this be a poor mans way to upgrade my FXST? Thanks for you honest opinions. I know it may sound crazy, but i cant afford to move into the Road King or Deluxe stage yet.

That looks more old school FL then the factory Heritage bikes. Nice job on that!

Id like to. The rims I have now are 18's. Ive done some catalog shopping, and the ones Ive seen for 18's have little to no white wall, cause their low profile. Nice Deluxe!
