Default Forward Controls identification assistance please

I just purchased a 2008 Thunder Mountain Durango chopper and it supposedly has OEM HD Softail forward controls. I am wanting to buy and install the Arlen Ness 3" forward control extansion kit but they are wanting to know if I need parts for an 00-06 Softail or an 07-17 Softail. It is my understanding that Thunder Mountain often used 2006 parts on the later bikes. I am attaching some pics of the forward controls in the hopes that someone may know which controls are on my bike. Thanks in advance...

Tommy

If the bike was built in 08, that's what I would order, if they don't fit, send them back and order the earlier years.

Those look oem to me. That being said, they look like twincam era ones and definitely not 84-99 style.

Thank you all for your replies. They are definitely Twin Cam era controls. I am just trying to figure out if they are 2000-2006 or 2007-2017 era controls. Apparently, they are slightly different.

Thanks again!

They look like the stock setup on Reaper - 2005 Night Train.

Cheers!
