So technically (if I wanted to) I could swap out the fenders and get the same overall look as a Fat Boy Lo?

Pretty much most of the Softails are like legos where you could pull parts from one and put them on the other. Once you strip them to motor and frame, there's not much different going on there between them.

Lol this thread just keeps getting better.
Village idiot is right.
I addressed this in your other post about a wider rear. You can just replace the rear end with a fatboy and get the tire width you want. Im not sure if he still has them but Zedrex was going to do the conversion and decided not too. He had them up for sale.
And brett is right it is cheaper to just buy the lo. As a matter of fact you may be in a better position to just trade your bike in... take the loss and get the fatboy. It may even be cheaper to do it that way. You would only have to pay taxes on the difference...
If you decide to do that you might as well just get a regular fatboy and customize it to how you want it.
If i could do it all over again i would have just bought a used Nightrain. But too late for that!
