Anyone know if the forward controls from a 2003 sportster will fit a 2004 sportster? I really really need to know!

No they will not. 03 and older have a different frame and mounting set up than the 04 and up.

I am just that lucky... I always buy the model the year before they change the frame or injection or something major.
