Default '07 Deluxe...3/4" or 25mm?

Hi all,
I'm looking to go from the stock 16"'s up to 18"'s on my '07 Deluxe (FLSTN). Can anyone tell me which bearing size I need to be looking for with this bike? I know the break point was '08 for the bearings. But looking through catalogs and vendors, some say fitments range from 2000-2008, some up to '07. Some start at '08 - newer, some at '07- newer. The Deluxe follows the same platform as the Fatboy and Heritage correct? So anything listed for either of those "should" fit a Deluxe also, yes? And going through H-D parts further compounds the confusion. According to what I saw, they show it as being 25mm front, and a 3/4" rear.

I know your going to suggest I do a Search, which I already have. Which ended up with this confusion. The Deluxe doesn't seem to get the same love that the Heritage/Fatboys do. And your also going to suggest that I go pull the axles and measure them myself to know for certain. I wish I could, but I'm a couple days out of ankle surgery, so mobility is kind of a issue for me right now.

I have been slowly putting a list of goodies together and have them sitting here so when I'm back on both feet again I can start upgrading this bike before the season starts up.

Thanks in advance.

I'm looking to get rid of my 18" in a few weeks when my new wheels come in. I have the bearings and sleeve for an 07.

Let me know if interested
