Default softail tins

I was thinking about changing to a new paint set on the '07 FLSTN. It seems that a I will need a set from a '05 to a '07 model. Can anyone tell me if a set from a '08 will bolt right up or were there changes made between the '07 and '08 model years that will prevent this? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Fourspeed I have a set of 07 tins for sale as I too went with a different paint scheme. When I called the hog shop, they told me front and rear fender are the same, there was a modification to the tank however. If interested, pm me on my tins.

I don't think a set from '06 or earlier will work because of the wider rear fender. don't know about the tank.
