Default Need Help: Lower leg question

Ok, so i bought a set of lower legs for my 1998 electra glide, Going to convert to newer style brakes, I have a buddy with a 96 road king,who wants to do the same conversion, the rk also has the same style 3/4 tapered bearings as my bike has. So i was told to use 99-02 legs which retain the stock 3/4 axle, so we can retain stock wheels, But im looking on ebay, and everyone is listing harley electra glide, touring axles as intererchangable 00-09. So even tho the axle diameter did change in 03, this doesnt effect the lower legs at all???? just the axle?? any help would be apprecieciated. thanks chad im somewhat confused?
