the rear brake lever on a 05 softail is the same as a 06 softail. I would think so but supposibly they changed numbers my dealer said and I have proven my dealer wrong on parts acouple of times in the past. Any assistance is appreciated . Thanks

Sorry I don't know for sure but do know that an '06 takes DOT 4 versus DOT 5 on an '05. You might check, say the Kuraykyn site and see if their chrome or braided handles are the same for both models.
