Default Forwards question

A friend of mine is selling his forward controls which fitted a 04 sporty. The price is good and they are in good shape too. Now I ask you all if these forward can fit my Nightster 08. I'm a little confused by what is written in the HD08accessory catalogue: sound like same forwards fitts 04/05 sportyand others, 06 and up models. Havn't they the same frame? Anyway, over the forward's box is written: "04 and up" OEM part #33395-04.
Any advice??

I have an 04 Myself and considering Forward Controls and to my understanding 04 and 05 are fine but 06 on up is different.. I would at least check on this a little more if I were you... Jay

Weather for the past week in Florida has been fabulous for riding ... Rain today and cold coming tomorrow but should be back in the saddle by Monday...
