I tried to put 09's on a 04 and could not. (without custom spacers, etc) I was told the 08's and up won't fit any others. I sold the 09's to a guy who was putting an 08 back together and he told me the dealer said the same thing.
Don't know it it is true, but that is what I have heard.
The bearing size isn't a big deal as the races are the same you just need to change the bearing.
Get T-stone to give you a deal on his, be a lot easier. (I ended up finding a set of 04 wires in a buddies garage, the dealer took them off before he picked up his bike, that was an easy way to do it!)
Thanks to all, I have seen now that the rear is totally different, the hub is longer and the swing arm looks wider.
I'm still thinking the front will fit, my 07' has 25mm axle.. and the HD website shows all the front custom wheels in Softail, will fit 2000 and up, the chrome front wheel spacer kit is the same # as well (2000 and up)
