Need the truth!
I have a 93 electraglide with an inner fairing that has some cracks and a chronically small set of speakers. I have read the entire internet in search of a definitive answer and haven't come up with one. Here is the question:
Will a 96-13 inner faring (electraglide) fit in the outer fairing of an 86-95? I know there are component differences with gauges and source signals...not really worried about that. Biggest hurdle I have right now is lack of tunes. IF the later model inner fairing will fit the earlier outer, then I will make everything else work. Does anyone have this answer?

Mounting holes, etc are different. You would have to do a lot of modification to make it work. Perhaps look at an aftermarket complete fairing? Or modify an inner and outer to fit your scoot.

Dawg is correct... as usual...
If you look at the two different years on one of the internet parts microfiche sites... you'll see they have different inner fairing mounting bracket part numbers and different outer fairing part numbers... so it's certainly not a straight across, bolt-on exchange...
How much modification would be needed, is hard to tell from the microfiche parts drawings, but.... it looks like it would need extensive modifications to fit...
Your time, your money... let us know what you decide to do... and how it works out...

From owning an 89 Glide, I agree with everyone. It wont bolt up and the curves on it are different.
While I did a radio and amp in the 89, the 4" speaker size limits the tunes output. The 93 wire harness is very similar to the 89 and I can say it is a hell of a lot of wires to redo to swap an inner fairing and get all the gauges to work correctly.
