Yes it does seem to be the same 96b engine, probably no big difference in the manuals

Thanks guys,sorta what I was thinking also,but my HD dealer teck still thinks my 07 is a five speed,differant axle sizes,differant tire sizes,and differant torque specs ! Maybe he just in needs to sell another manuel to put him over the top for the year.I hope he wakes up before he tears into someones 07 with a six speed.
