Default Tins fitment

Just bought a 95 Softail and the tins are the pits so I found some nice ones from a 97 FLH. Will the tins from a 97 FLH bolt up on a 95 FLST?

No, the Softail has two fuel tanks, the Electra Glide uses a one piece tank.

Fenders are also a no go.

If you decide to paint the old tins, check the insides of the tanks first, and take care of any rust or peeling tank liner before you paint.

Thanks for the reply. After replacing the cracked dash/speedo housing this morning I see why the one piece tank won't work.
