Tell him to take a tape measure & measure the distance from eye to eye of the bolt holes.

your stock shocks off your dyna will fit and drop it 3/4 in... or at least they should... we used them on my brohters 1200 and that gave it a much more "beefy" look than the stock skinny sporty shocks... we then dropped the tension all the way so it was not as hard of a ride... looked cool!

Seriously, you never told us what model '07 883 this buddy has. Customs have different size shocks versus the R models versus the Low versus the Standard. So he'll need to take a tape measure & measure from eye to eye of the shocks.
