Default Cruiser to Softail front end

What are the diffs between FXST trees and FLH trees
I want to put a 08 FLH dual disc front end on my 07 FXST
I see that they both have 41mm tubes

I know that an early set that I have is like a 1/4 to a 1/2" inch thinner between the trees, had to shave my calipers to fit the spacing. Not sure if its the same with the newer ones. I'll check tthe parts manual and see if the spacer numbers are the same
