Default Why wouldn't this fit my 05?

I am looking at this Cover for the fuel console and it says from 08 on up:

Why wouldn't this fit my 2005 UC?

That is because they want to sell you a new bike.

I have two fuel console doors because of this. I don't think the cover is bigger for an 08, the mounting is offset a bit about 1/4". Regardless, they don't work. I found out the hard way after trying to install.
