I'm looking to get a take-off header to de-CAT for my 2012 FLHTK.
I don't want to mess with my own stock header, because I'm not that handy and worried I'll mess it up.
But I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty either.
I haven't been able to locate a take-off header at any of my area dealers, but I did find one being sold privately online.
It's from a 2010 FLHTP, and it's already been de-Catted and TIG welded back up...
The owner replaced them with V&H's, and there's supposedly only 1200 miles on the header.
My question - was there not a change from '10 to the '11 (and '12's the same as '11).. WILL THIS 2010 FLHTP HEADER FIT MY 2012 FLHTK?
I remember somewhere at a dealer during my search, a mechanic telling me that something changed (the size of the O2 sensor bungs, or something like that??)
Before I go paying for the header and shipping, can anyone tell me for sure?

( I checked Ronnie's Harley Parts online and best I can tell, they're the same part #66865-10A... but I'd like confirmation from someone who knows)

 

Yes it will fit, 2009 had the 18 mm 02 sensor port and in 2010 they went to 12 mm 02 sensor port and that is what is on the 2010 and later.

 

I LOVE this forum...

Thanks for the quick reply, 77 Tulsa... I'll contact him and hope he can ship today...

 

The 02 ports are the same. But the police bike is 2 into 1 into 2. Is the FLHTK 2 into 1 into 2 also or 2 into 1?

 

To answer your question - it's 2 into 1 into 2..... but I don't have to worry about it any more - the guy who was selling it
contacted the dealer where he left it a month ago, when he bought the V&H, and they threw it out!!! Even though he had asked
(and they agreed, according to him) to hold it for him.
He was pissed and I don't blame him. A month is a long time, but you think they'd have at least called him and said "come get this thing" before they trashed it.

I went onto eBay and bought a take-off from a 2012 Ultra from seller - "hogridin"

Shouldn't be any fitment issues at all.... now I hope I don't regret not spending the extra coin for the Fullsac (which is what I had been eyeing - but didn't want to spend that much).
I'm doing this to reduce the heat issue, and Fullsac was coated inside/out....

But this'll be less than 1/2 the price of the Fullsac and a cheap education....a simple job that's not going to be too taxing on my limited mechanical skills

Thanks for the replies

 

Majic31, I have the same bike and want to do the same thing. Do you have to do anything else? Fuel management or with the computer?
