    Do you mean 'sheet metal'? HD moves mounting holes around on their otherwise 'alike' sheet metal...some will and some will not. HD seems to be working hard at keeping their bikes unique between models and year of build. You would probably need to do this research with some wrenches and a set of sockets....

    Hope it works out...!

    hey duke, if ya have a dealer near you they may help you out....if not try an indy shop....they usually have a bit more time for customers questions....another place to try would be an online parts supplier....look up what your needing and then check on what you have....same part numbers usually mean the part will interchange....hope this helps

    years ago I would have said yes , but like clem said hd makes it a point to move stuff just enough to say ask at a shop or see if anyone has a 07 parts catalog for hd

    Side panels and front fender are the same, rear probably is the same,

    Tank should be the same, 08 Tanks changed for 6 gallon capacity and new drive by wire throttle.

    I would call a dealer and ask or look online at Country Selector in the custom paint section, check for your model and see what years it fits

    If it says fits 04 to 07 then you're golden.

    Also you can make stuff fit a lot of times, with the changing of a couple of parts.

    I think the 06/07's have a single fuel feed line where as the early 00'-03s had a dual fuel feed line on the tanks, not sure what year they changed
