the 6 gallon tank is narrowed underneath where the 2006 has the ignition coil.

I think you'd be looking at having to try to relocate the ignition ( it is now under the seat)

you can compare parts using the diagrams here :

if you want to compare individual parts, put them in the "shopping cart" and the numbers are shwn at check out

One can not put an 08 gas tank on a 07 or older
bike with out some cutting and welding. This has been
discussed a lot since the six gallon tanks came out in 08.
I think I may have even ask it myself a few years back.

He's not looking to do that, he's looking to put an 07 on an 06
