Default tank swap

i have a 2005 road king with a hd factory custom paint set on it. i would like to upgrade to a 07 or 08 road king with a 96" motor. i want to be able to reuse the paint set. does anyone know if the tank will fit on the 08. my tank is a 5 gallon tank and i know that the 08 uses a 6 gallon tank. i am willing to give up that extra gallon but will the tank mount up? if it will mount up will there be problems with the fuel pump fitting?
