When I cliked your link it went to the handlebars I have on my wish list.

What you need is 2 seals, 2 dust covers, 2 sets of O rings, 2 bushings, 2 jugs of fork oil. Or better yet just call and Al or JoAnne and one of them will fix you right up. I'm sure one of them can help you identify your springs too.

The 06 springs have coils that are all evenly spaced apart for the whole spring. Linear Spring.

The 07+ has 3 distinct sections of coil spacing - progressive spring.

If you do the upgrade, be sure to use the fork oil measurements from the 07 and not your 06.

Made a huge improvement on braking dive and general handling on my 06 Uly.

Yea the only way to know is to pop open the fork and see what you have, but it is unlikely to have the 07 springs in it. Like Unholy said, the 06 spring looks the same from top to bottom, while the 07 spring has tighter coiling at the top and bottom sections and looseish in the middle.

@Froggy , i know that my bike seller told me that the springs have been changed .My bike comes far from a HD dealer (i'm the 5's owner) as a demonstration bike, with many options so…
