Default heritage windshield on a deluxe

Does anyone know if a heritage w/s fits on a deluxe? Searched but couldn't find an answer. Same front end except for turn signals right?

I hate the deluxe shield

YES, NO, and maybe.

Since U didn't put in enough info about the yr of the bike for the parts Ur looking Vs the yr of the other bike, nor- w - or - w/o - driving light I don't see how anyone can give U a 100% correct answer..

I did spend about 30 secs looking this up for U. found a place U can get an answer if U Cross Reference the part..

Look through the above link and it will tell U what Ur want to know.

Ok, lets say 2005 on both bikes and driving lights on both. I thought there might have been someone who tried this. I will take a look at the info from Memphis.

Thanks

Might be, but most of us try to buy parts that fits our bikes, not buy something not made for our bikes, then try to make it work..

Just look at the link I gave U... it shows that some LUX VS Heritage shields are the same,..

But U need to spend a little time researching Ur own stuff..

If nothing else,, call U dealer,, the parts guys should know.

Thats kind of a "dick" answer but thanks for the info...lol

My original post was "does anyone know"

If you dont know thats ok, like I said I appreciate the link. I will look into it.

The dealership usualy only knows stock application but Its worth a shot if nobody here has tried one.

Thanks

This much I can tell you for sure. The ws on an 08 Heritage fits on an 08 Deluxe. Personally I like the looks of the Deluxe one better but it's your mighty fine looking bike.

Thanks! I might cut mine down a few inches to see if I like it better but I do really like the support braces on the heritage WS. I saw a heritage style shield with the bottom blacked out...it might be a good look for a black and white bike.

Thanks for the compliment.

It's basically the same bike with the same light setup (though the deluxe has the bullet blinkers). It should bolt right up.

YW. I took about an inch off my ws but I'm thinking about taking off more. My wife has the nostalgic low profile tinted on her Deluxe and it's 1.5 lower than mine.

I thought about covering the bottom of mine especially since my windshield bag has worn a smudge into it from rubbing against it.

What did you use to cut your WS?
