Default Front Fork Info Needed
A buddy of mine came across a HD chrome front end kit, with the part number ending in -08. I know this means it will fit 08+ bikes. He has a 07 Street Glide. Will this kit work?

What is the difference in 07 and 08 forks?

Look at your parts book, they are the same from 2000-2013.

Wrong! Axle size is only different in the middle of the axle. The ends that are inserted into the legs are the same size.
