Default Softail Front End compatibility.

Hello Everybody,
I have a killer deal locally n full Front Boy Front end (Trees, forks, necelle, headlight & axles).
Question is, it is from 2007, would this be compatible with my 2001 Neck ?
Would the front Axle be compatible with my 2001 Front wheels ?

I know the wheels changed for sure but not sure what year.

let me know please

2007 Fatboy front wheel is offset. Look at the fender in relation to the forks. Im not sure how this will affect fitment or if axle is same size but aesthetically make sure you know about it before you go putting it on. I'm OCD about stuff like that and it would drive me insane.

Spacing won't be an issue, I will use my fender and wheel (21") so I will find the right spacers I think ..
I am concerned about the axle size change.

2007 uses a 25mm axle. You'll have to find a wheel off an 07+ unless you want to put 25mm bearings in ur wheel and make custom spacers.
