Default Will an '07 rim fit '06?

Hi Folks,

I posted this question the other day, but when I came back to look, the forum was completely different.

I have a 2006 Night Train that I want to replace the stock front rim. (chrome looks a bit rough) I bought a brand new 2007 Night Train front rim figuring it was the same size, same model, etc, but really not thinking that there might be some measurement/bearing changes or something. Does anyone know if I can put the new '07 rim on my '06? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

06 has a 3/4" axle n the 07 is 25m, if you put the 06 bearings in the 07 wheel it should fit.

HD sells "wheel installation kits" for this exact purpose.
