But you are still using the paper filter, right?

Something wrong with SE ?

It's paper and resticks air flow and cannot be washed. So yes, it's junk.

Do a search or check with Dawg.

He took the old K&N, drilled new holes, plugged the old ones. Several people have done it.

The K&N filter fits physically, just the holes are in the wrong spot.

That or wait. I'm sure they or others willcome out with one soon and the SE should workuntil then.

I saw that post and that is an option.

What about the SE Heavy Breather? It is really sharp looking, maybe someone will post up a pic of one on a bagger.....

It will not work when you have lowers with glove boxes. A buddy have one and powder coated it black, looks awesome!!

K&N HD-1508 for all the 08's

Like I stated earlier, that filter is for the stock back plate.

RE: 2008 Air Cleaners

what was the major change that doesn't allow you to use the older ones? I have an 07 SG and just installed an A/C kit from my old 04 softail. fit like a glove.

RE: 2008 Air Cleaners

whats wrong with the SE?

Works fine for me.

If you want to do more engine mods, such as cams, I would go with Woods system.

Woods will build you what you want to any size and will fit to the 08. Give him acall.
