I hope you guys can help me, I'm trying to find out how wide a 2003-2004 heritage softail rear fender is. Under the rear light. Want to see how much difference between the fatboy and heritage. Thanks for any help

Atomicar, Before @ 2006, the Fatboy and Heritage (and Deluxe except for tail light) fenders are interchangeable. Same 7 1/4" width. (I know I have swapped them).

Some years back Harley made the Fatboy rear fender MUCH wider. (@2006-7)?

You will not see this measurement on the parts diagram, you would see the part # change on the Fatboy rear fender by changing years: This might help:

Edit: This info is for 2005 to present bikes. I think there have been some changes prior to this I have not delt with.

Yes Heritage parts should fit, as long as you don't have the late model "ultra wide" Fatboy rear fender (and wide low profile rear tire).

It looks like @ 2007 Harley went to the 200mm rear tire and Wide rear fender:

What year is your Fatboy?

Default 2003 Fatboy rear fender exact same size as the Deluxe and Heritage rear

I think they are the same then.

I KNOW for positive, the rear fender trim from a Deluxe will fit the Fatboy rear fender perfectly, you have to drill 3 holes. I did this for a rider so I would think the same for a Heritage rear fender trim.
