How much in total is that going to cost you? Why not look at a used, complete softail? There are lots of good deals out there. If you're going for the 88" anyway, you can find a good low milage, complete bike for not that much money. If you go that route, you need the TC88B, not the regular TC88. Even still, I don't know if it'll mount up right. Then I don't know if the 5 speed will mount up where the 6 speed was on the 2007. It sounds like a lot of work when you can get an 05 Softail Standard for under 8K if you look around.

i cant say for sure but i would bet it should fit no problem. basically the difference is in the stroke in the 96
