If you could post a picture of the 07 wheel, that would be great.

When I got home today I checked the wheel to make sure I put the pulley and rotor on the correct side. I had them correct. The picture of the Night Train wheel is the pulley side. The bolts for the pulley and rotor are different sizes. I was sure I had it right but started doubting myself today after reading the posts. I'm starting to believe it's from an 08.
DynaBob, I would still like to see the pictures to compare them to my Standard wheel.
Anyone else have any ideas?

it must be ............they put brembo brakes on the 08s and a diff rotor so maybe thats why the bolt pattern is diff............but the 08s also have a bigger rear axle so if yours fit it must be an 07................the 07 has a 3/4 axle and the 08 is i belive 1". do you live close to MN by any chance???

I was never able to get the Night Train wheel far enough into the swingarm to put the axle in. The rotor and pully was hitting the swingarm.
I think my 07 Standard wheel and your 07 Nightrain wheel are same. At this point, from looking at your pictures, I think HD changed the Night Train wheel design from 07 to 08. The pulley mount seems to be about a 1/2" longer on my Night Train wheel. The pulley and rotor was interchangalbe between both wheels with no problem (the bolt patterns and size are the same). I knew the 08's had a different axle size (which I believe is metric) but assumed the rest of the wheel was the same. I was told this was a 2007 but I now believe it's an 08. I wouldn't have bought it if I knew it was an 08.
I've got a ride this weekend so I'm having my tire put back on the standard wheel today until I decide what I want to do.
