I just bought these for my 04 http://pantablo500.tripod.com/id2.html Even though it doesn't say it, I've managed to dig up some posts where there was a confrimation. I was trying to find an overwhelming yes it was and I didn't get it, but a couple said yes and they sounded like they knew what they were saying.

I just haven't put them in yet, so I can't say for certain if they work or not.

They work and they're worth every cent.  I had them on my '04F.

Good luck!

Those also worked on mine. Just adding another confirmation. They do work on 04's.  :)  Awesome mod. Now it feels right. Also I used a 3/4" spacer and kept the stock oil. For my quick cruise they felt great. I'm 190-200 lbs for comparison sake.
