The neck bearings in the shovel are one inch and I think the new Sportster also is one inch. I just can't remember when they went to one inch on the sportys. I think i was in 04 so you should be good.

Default front end

check the part # from V-twin or another catalog, the ones that I checked are the
same part # for most, you should also check # for the race also.
