Default Bob Tail Fender on a Deluxe

I'm thinking of swapping my rear fender of my 2011 Softail Deluxe to a Bob Tail Fender.

Are there different sizes of bob tail fenders? Years? Size(s)?...since I currently have a 150 rear. Also, do I have to change my rear fender struts? Someone please school me on this and how I can acheive getting a bob tail fender onto my Softail Deluxe.

Dod someone do this already?

You'll need to get a fender for a pre 2006 twin Camm bike, which are 150, after that they went to 200, and I think Evo bikes had 130 though I'm not sure on that, chances are if you get a used one from ebay it'll probably come with struts any way so you won't have to use yours which might not fit, can't say I've seen a Deluxe with one on, the usual thing on here if your changing a rear fender is to put on a Heartlands kit, and in the main it's the guys with the bobtail s that do that so there should be plenty of choice out there, never know you may get some offers on this thread to sell you one.

I'd like to go the other way, but mine won't fit yours.
There're plenty new, just not sure I have the energy, definitely don't have the money.
With fender, paint (nothing fancy), new plate mount and light $600. + easy.

Evo and pre 06 softail fenders both have 7-1/8 wide fenders inside and either will mount up.Pretty sure the deluxe has an extra hole in the stuts.
