I got the SEAC for the Road Glide and decided to do the install today. I took a few pix along the way in case anyone wanted to see how the process went.

1 Original football off, this shows the throttle support bracket that must be removed.


2 I performed the bolt removal with a single ball allen wrench. I did not have to remove the tank, as per the instructions. Note towel to protect the chrome rocker cover.


3 The bracket is now off, ready for the new backing plate.


4 O Rings ready to go on the bolts to the head. I lightly oiled the rings so they wouldn't tear as I tightend them.


5 The gasket installed on the mounting plate. It seems to be cut a bit big for the opening. Also I ordered the plain backing plate (not chrome) and I painted it black to match the engine.


6 Here is the breather plate installed. A bit of loctite blue on the head mounting bolts keep them from rattling out.


7 Another view showing the breather bolts. They had loctite red on the threads.


8 The air cleaner mounted.


9 Another view.


10 I put some screws in the empty holes from the bracket removal.


11 I have installed a 7" cover. It fits the ac and opens up the side of the engine for viewing. ( I need one with better chrome)!


12 The whole picture. I have remapped the ecu with the SERT and I am now waiting for the snow to go and the temps to warm up!


I hope this helps anyone thinking about the SEAC install on an 08.

Looks good! I broke the backing plate because I did not remove the support bracket. Not that the instructions stated anything about removing it! <slaps head> [/align]

 

Excellent post!!!!

 

Does the original football cover still fit?
I bought the SE A/C kit... was going to make the change when my PCIII arrived this week. I had been thinking about the cover but was hoping the football would still work.

 

Yes it does

 

Thanks for the write-up and pics. I have the same intake installed on my '08 103" and it performs well. It seems a shame the MoCo spent so little time thinking about the aesthetics - it would have taken just a minute more thought and they could have included chrome bolts and found some way to hide the hideous wiring for the throttle-by-wire. Interestingly, my backing plate came from MoCo in flat black; I wonder if they will produce a chrome one like previous years...

 

Excellent post and "how to". This is the first I have seen an 08 TB up close, it is quite different than the 07's

 

Thanks, a very informative post! I'll be doing the same to my new scoot.

 

Perfect write up Bro......can you also post the HD part number(s)?? That would make it a A+ for sure!

 

Great post, have not seen an 08 apart yet.
