A freind has lower fork tubes off a 05 softail, I was gonna get them and have them powder black coated & then put them on my 07 night train
Will they match up ? with no prob, any one know ??

 

Get on line and check the part #'s. I want to say yes but if I remember right. I think the part numbers for chrome lowers for a 2006 were different then the 2007.

 

Think your out of luck bro. The axles changed in 07.

 

The 05's had a 3/4" axle and the 07's have a 25mm axle.

 

I got a spare set off my 07 if ya wanna pic em up though.

 

25mm = .984".. or ~1". if you wanted to, you could change the bearings in your wheel, and get new spacers, and it should work.. a buddy of mine just put a wheel off a 2010 Street Glide on to his 2001 Electra Glide, and all he had to do was change the bearings out

 

i painted mine with no problems, has held up way beyond my expectations, not a single chip in em. didnt have to take apart either, i was only doin this temporarily until i had cash to pc', but the way they are holding up im not gonna. there are how to threads on this, if you wanna go this route just take your time and will look great just make sure you get rust-o-leum appliance epoxy, it dries as hard as a rock, no primer is used

 

Thanks !!! guy's I will paint mine to , I paint cars for a living so its a no brainer for me, I just wasn't sure that they would hold up ? but what the Hell ? I could always repaint them every year ? lol !!
