I'm looking to replace a scratched rear heat shield on my 2006 softail deluxe.

The part number listed for this is 65389-05B.

I've found a NOS part that is listed as 65389-05A.

Does anyone know if there's any difference between "B" and "A" for this part?  I'm asking because the seller has a "no return" policy.

Thanks...

New suffix is usually a change of vendor to HD, sometimes a change of original spec, typically to be able to increase fitment. Most often, there will be miniscule if any visual differences.
Ignorance is bliss, and accuracy expensive. How much of either can you afford?

Thank you kindly!  That's what I needed to know.
