Default fork slider

Hello.....i have a 06 fxsti and was wondering if anyone could tell me what the difference is between the 06 and, he 07 lower fork sliders? Seems to be alot of 07 chrome fork slider kits available that are pretty reasonable but the 06s are hard to come buy unless you buy them new...thanks

I believe the axle size is different between those two years.

I believe hd offset the front wheel on 07 also, then centered again in 08 but went to a 25mm axle. Might want to check into that first.
