only problem i can see other than your wiring issue would bethe seat fitment the nose of the '07 seat might not line up with the '08 tank just one thing to think about

You'll probably need to cut the weldment off the frame for the engine stabilizer that is under the tank. You'll then need to weld a weldment onto the front and drill and tap the head to accept the engine stabilizer up front.
