Softails - what is the variance

    Hi guys,

    I have just bought a 98 Nightrain and am about to start cutting it up to mount a swing arm style fender on the rear.  I was planning on using one of the Lucky Sucker rear fenders and structs but they're 2000+ whilst I have a 1998 bike. I have looked high and low for an answer on this and with little sucess.  It understand the changs in respect to the wheels, hubs, rear brakes etc but can't seem to find anything about fenders. The 98 has the standard solid wheel on it, so does the 2000.

    Anyone fucked around with Softail fenders from year to year and have an idea on this?

    Cheers

    Personally I don't like cutting the horns off only if your still keeping the bobtail guard
    Every one try's to make them look like a chopper but in saying that there are some very nicely
    Done ones around like TJUs springer that bike looks horn , but buy memory when I was looking
    At all a few years back the tc is about 1/4 inch wider in that area so maybe some spacers if it's
    One of those guards that bolt on useing the holes in side of the frame
