Quick question here. I have a 2008 Nightster and I'm looking at some mids I found on eBay but they came off of a 2014/15 Sportster. Will they fit my bike?

The brake lever and brake rod are different on the 2014/2015 Sportsters due to changes in the rear brake master cylinder and the exhaust that sticks out further from the engine than to clear the new master cylinder position. The shifter side should
be okay.
