Default Front Fork Sliders Question???

Anyone know what they changed from the '00-'06 Heritages to the '07-'08 front fork sliders?

There is some killer deals on the bay right now for the '07-'08s and I would like to get in on it if I can make them fit mine. I can not find the info I need though??? I guess the two big questions that I need answered are:

1. Are the tubes the same diameter?

2. Is the axles the same size? I do think they are different size, but couldn't I just buy the new axle and new bearings to make that work???

Or should I quit looking for the BEST deals out there and just buy what I know fits my bike....LOL
