Are all Dyna Wide Glide Frames the same?

Are all Dyna Wide Glide Frames the same?
As a trike builder in the UK I am looking at creating a conversion jig for a bolt on independent rear suspension trike conversion. We have done quite a few Harleys over the years but when it comes to mounting to the frame - as a bolt on when we supply the kits for DIY builds we don't attach the mounting tubes to the cradle.
what I want to do is make a jig that has the mounting points in places so we can supply the kits to the customer ready to bolt on. For this we are suing a 2004 Dyna Wide Glide FXDWGI
So my question is:
Does anyone know which models use exactly the same frame as the FXDWGI 2004 model as the left side footpeg mounting bracket mounting point and the upper shock mount points needs to be exactly the same for the jigged kit to work.
Thanks in advance

If that's a photo of your bike on the avatar then it would not be possible to keep them in the same place as the upper and lower wishbones go exactly there.
That's not to say they couldn't go higher there are photos of conversions on the casarva.co.uk website but I am not touting for business I really need to button down the frame issue before spending loads of time building manufacturing something that's only going to fit a few bike donors

The pegs are mounted to the swingarm after 05. The photo you show is the older 05 down mounting points. The upper shock mounts at the struts may be wider end to end on frames after 05. You need to find a newer Dyna to measure it. You will also see the peg mounts on the swingarm.
Just for reference here is a photo of the mounts.

Henry,
That is my bike in my signature. From your pictures it looks the same as my 99. I think the frames were the same from 99 - 05. Those are the years for the 88 inch twin cam. The upper (shock) mounting points are also the same.
I would still be interested in the kit. I modified a few things to get those bags and tour pack mounted on my wide glide. I could probably modify your kit to get the bags to fit.
Thanks,
Rick
