Hey folks,

Did a bit of homework on this question and am pretty sure that I know the answer but thought I would double check with you folks.

I have 2011 FLHX and am looking to change from the stock air breather. I have a friend you has P/N 29478-05A which says it will fit an 02-07 touring. I then went online and checked the new air breather and it says 08 touring and up. Was there a change made from the 07 to the 08 which would not allow you to use the older air cleaner? I suspect that there was a change and that is why you cannot use it.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Kevin

 

'08 they went to TBW and changed the throttle body.

 

Thanks for the info...knew something changed but wasn't sure what it was.

 

your best bang for buck would be a ness big sucker w/chrome backing plate about $115 shipped USA on ebay from easternpc.
check and see what they charge for NB

I believe the bolt pattern is different on the throttle body where the backing plate attaches between the '07 and '08. At least thats what I found when I tried to mount an '08 air cleaner on my '07.

 

Thanks folks

 

The bolt pattern on the 08 and later Touring bikes has a larger diameter.
