Default Forks specs for FXDSE2

Hello,

Does anyone know the specs for the forks on the '08 SE Dyna, and if so, how can they can be switched to the '07 SE Dyna? They were changed by CVO to achieve better handling. the rake was drawn in from 32.5* to 29* and apparently brought in by one-inch. In theory it sounds simple, but does anyone know how to do it? I am assuming certain hardware is needed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Looking at both set of specs side by side they look the same except for the fork angle
http://www.aimag.com/07Models/specs_FXDSE.pdf
Rake (steering head) 29°
Fork Angle 30.5°
Front Fork 43 mm inverted forks; chrome fork tubes and triple clamps
Suspension Travel: Front Wheel 5.9 in. (150 mm)
Wheelbase 65.5 in. (1664.0 mm)

http://hdpdf2.site88.net/specsheets/CVO.pdf (page 3)
Rake (steering head) 29°
Fork Angle 29°
Front Fork 43mm inverted forks; chrome fork tubes and triple clamps
Suspension Travel: Front (mm) 150 mm
Wheelbase (mm) 1615
The biggest difference that I see it made was to the Wheelbase. Which might of been change for ride ability. If I had to guess (and I am) I would say that the two would interchange and you would not notice the difference, I think (and I am guessing again) the difference is in the frame neck.
