Question Axle size for 07 nightster?

Does anybody have knowledge of the axle sizes, front and rear, for the 07 nightster? Also, what year the sizes were changed and if they differ from Custom, roadster, nightster etc... in the same year.
I'm having a problem with a online vendor. They are claiming my nightster should have a 1" front axle when it actually has a 3/4".
I was wanting to give them a few facts on the sizes and when they changed. I appreciate any help.

In 08 the Sportster front axle was changed to 25mm and is hollow.

I stand corrected. I knew they changed for '08 and I thought they went to 1".
