No, not without modding the tank/fenders. The frames changed on the '04 & later.

I believe the rear fender is a bit wider on '04 and up but I could be wrong.

As previously stated, not a bolt on. You will be doing some hacking and welding...

Sure they will, if you trade them for '04 tins. Too much modding required to make them fit and look right.

Thanks for the info. I was bidding on this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AIT&viewitem=

and then found out from him it's from an 03. He should change that description.

The person selling those items is wrong.They will not fit an 04 or newer.Like someone said earlier,they will not just bolt on.The frames are different.Harley changed the Sportster frame in 2004
