Default Roadglide fairing interchange Q

Will a 2015 RG inner bolt up to a 2008 outer with no modification? Thanks.

Shooting from the hip here as I have an 08 FLTR but I just can't see it happening. Been wrong before and could very well be this time but too many changes in the new fairing design. Maybe somebody smarter than I can give better information.

yeah, not happening. they aren't even close to the same size. the new fairings are about 3'' skinnier than the old ones.

out of curiosity, why would you want to do this? if it is for the 'infotainment' cutout, there is a company that makes a double din radio insert. unfortunately, installation entails cutting off your old one and gluing, fiberglass blending the new one in.

Not going to work . When they came out with the new design it was a major change.

Never Say Never...... With enough money and the right fabricator damn near anything is possible. However it WILL NOT be a simple bolt on process. It will be very tedious, time consuming, and costly $$$
