Default need softail swingarm info

I am looking to find out if the swing arrm from an 06-07 Deuce will fit on my 05.If so are there any mods I need to make or anything else to look out for as this seem the cheapest way to get a 200 tire onto the bike.I am looking at keeping a 21x2.15 on the front and changing over to a 18x5.5 rear from RC wheels.Any body know if there will be any clearance issues.
Cheers and thanks in advance!

according to the MOCO...all the swingarms are the same, up to the last year (07)...at least the rear tire size for the FXSTD is the same..160/70/B17...except for that SE 502 rear tire which is a 180....all I have read on this site says you can use a 180 on an 18X5.5 with very little trouble/mods....I think to do the 200 would require the narrow pully, smaller belt, smaller upper and lower belt guards, brake caliper, and possibly different spacers....JMOHO...I would go with the 180...
