Question Front and rear brake upgrade questions on 98 RG

ok, I have a 98 roadglide and im going to be updating the front and rear with the brembo setup..

Front:
I have a 2012 new takeoff SG wheel, 25mm axle, master cylinder and have a brakeline from a 2009 FLHTC. I also have fork sliders model number 06+ for 1" axle...is this fork ok or do i need the 09+ fork slider with the 25mm axle? I know i'll need the newer spacers.


Rear:
I have a 2008 SG Rear wheel with brembo rotor and just picked up the caliper and line. I have the 2008 swingarm with axle and going to do the conversion....What rear master cylinder can I upgrade to? 07 and older or can the 08+ work?

According to my '09 parts book the front sliders end in 00 so ya should be good with the forks? Ya should use the '08 up master but they may have changed the mount?? OK maybe I don't know???

my guess would be possibly the 08 since the frame change in 09 but I haven't taken anything apart in that area yet so don't even know the mount

I was looking at the bracket that holds the MC and i think I'll have to stick with the 2007 without modification
