Default odd question about rake kits

Maybe someone can help me with a question. I ordered a 5 1/2 degree rake for an 03 Dyna (narrow) for a friend. Well, he's now decided he doesn't want it anymore and I'm out the money (the company doesn't accept returns). I was told this rake will also fit the Sportster model. Anybody know if this is really true? I figure if I can "verify" this, it may be easier to sell it and hopefully make at least some of my money back. Thanks for the help!

Sounds like your friend owes you some money.

What kind of "rake" is is? Different trees, fork cups?

I agree, but I'm outta luck on that side of it.. I figure if I can get at least something back out of it before Christmas I'll be "content".

It's a complete upper and lower full polished triple tree set with new fork caps. The trees are sealed on the top so the fork caps are hidden (the screw into the upper tree). I paid $650 for it... I figure I'd put it on craigslist and Ebay asking 400 OBO, maybe I'll get lucky.
