Jackyl, it no longer accepts the part nos that you used on your bike. The number has changed to include both upper and lower trees with built in risers, ala '08 WG.

You my friend, got very lucky. I tried going the same route as you and looked up some of your old posts on the subject, but when I went to order, the parts looker upper thingamajig wouldn't accept the number. I called zanottis and asked and was told about the complete set.

I just put a wideglide rig on my bike. I bought a set of ultima 5 degree trees from ebay for $60, bought stock softail 41mm fork tubes and some dealer take-off 2000+ sliders for $25 and spent $150 to get the trees and slider powder coated. Keep in mind I have a 2005FXD. I also bought a bearing kit from HD $70+-, that allowed me to change my 1" bearing to 3/4"bearings and had some tube stock to cut axle spacers. With this rig I was able to keep my 19" wheel. The bike stayed nice and level.Here is phone pic, but I'm going out tomorrow to take a few quality pix with my camera.
