I really don't know that answer.... but, doesn't the Night Train have an FX frontend and the Fat Boy an FL frontend. wouldn't that make a difference?

Ya I don't think you'll be able to just swap out trees. Pretty sure you'll have to do whole front end.

don't the NT have a wide front end? the ones I've seen don't seem to have a narrow one on them.
