I think if it's for a night train it is for a wideglide frontend only. I'm sure it would fit if you had a wideglide conversion done to your bike but will not fit a narrow glide frontend such as the stock Sportster.

+1 Fits wideglide frontend only. Go with the 19" and get more rubber on the road and over twice the tread life.
