Default Dyna to Sportster interchange

I am thinking of stripping all the good bits off my cafe style 00 Dyna FXDX and transplanting to my 07 Sportster Roadster before selling the Dyna. Are these parts interchangeable:
Entire front end from yokes down?
Swingarm - Dyna is .75" shaft to the engine

The rear shocks should fit as both 13.15"
I should be able to transplant the Dyna 17" aluminium rear wheel but might have to do a bit of machine work
Brembo RCS 19 adjustable MC should swap over

I would keep the Dyna, but it is in Thailand and now a hassle to sell as is since according to the Authorities I "have cut the frame" by removing the rear struts. If I have to go to all the work to reattach the old fender in order to sell the bike, I am going to keep all the good bits for the bike in Canada. I have 2 other bikes in Thailand and the Dyna has just been sitting since I finished the build................

That is too bad you have to part it out. That is a nice build. I understand you can never sell it for all the money you put into it.

I don't know about the swing arm, but the front forks and rear shocks will swap easily. I also think the rear wheel works with proper spacers.

Wheels are 17" aluminium and the front will go along with the forks. The rear will work as you say with spacers and turning the tire around as Sportsters drive on the other side. The rear axle is now 25mm but this is a simple bearing swap
The swingarm was an expensive bit of kit, and If I do the recycling it would be nice to use it

I have 2 other bikes here in Thailand and just don't ride it anymore so makes sense to move it on. The problem is while it is registered in my name now, the Authorities will not transfer the rego to a new Owner as I have "modified" the frame. Recycling the expensive bits to my Sportster in Canada is one choice. I could also keep it, ship it to Canada and ride it there, or export for sale.
