Since I've never put one of these on before, the instructions give you an option and I don't know which way to go and why. It says:
"If desired, the induction module cover (2) and the gaskets (1) do not have to be installed. Install gasket (19) instead of the induction module cover and gaskets and discard then."
The induction module cover is black and you will see a lot of it. So, why would I need this? Thanks!

On my SERG there is an electrical plug that goes into the throttle body (I believe) and that plate covers that up. I dont think all bikes have that electrical connection that is why the option is there. You can also get that plate in chrome. Look at the directions in the part break down and it lists the part number for black and one for chrome.

Harley does not make that plate in chrome. ( That`s what they told me ), so i took mine to a plating co and had it chromed, $20.00 . You can buy one stock black for $18.00 take it to get chromed, then when it is done put it on. No down time

I had heard the same thing. Then I was getting quotes for 45 dollars to get it chrome plated. I was just getting ready to send it out and I was reading the directions and there is a parts list on the back and they had it listed there. The part number is 29009-08 chrome throttle body cover. I ordered from Zanottis and got it for around 17 dollars.

So does the chrome one you got look good?
I may just have to order that, I was planning on having the black on chromed over the winter, but this idea sounds better
-
I just ordered last week from Zanotti's and haven't received it yet.

Post about it when you get it if you would please :coolblue:

Curious about the chrome plate — wondering if you ever received one from Zanotti's. Meanwhile, what's the part number for the black plate? I just had the heavy breather installed and man is that plate an eyesore!
-
29009-08 fron CHD it is black, not chrome. :( Checked Zanottis and it does not state chrome??
-
I should be receiving it today and will report back.
-
I just painted mine to match the engine paint. (Dupli-Color DSFM 225 Med. Charcoal) Looks better IMO than black.

wouldn't the Granite paint to match engine look better
-
I just ordered it from Chi HD 16 bucs. I'll see if it works and reply. cheap lesson if it doesn't
-
Yes, if I could have purchased some Granite paint locally, I would have.
The (Dupli-Color DSFM 225 Med. Charcoal) is a very, very close match.
Larry, could you post the HD part # for the granite paint.

OK guys, I received my package today from Zanotti's and the part arrived in black and not chrome. I went and looked at the directions for the SE Heavy breather where I got the part number and that part number 29009-08 is listed as chrome and 28890-09 is listed as black. I have emailed Zanottis and am waiting for there reply. I also have attached a copy of the directions so you all can see the part number that i used. It is part 2 in the description. I will keep you updated with whatever I find out.
-
Here is my response back from Zannoti's They sent me a new set of directions with the updated part numbers but no chrome ones. The file was to large for me to attach it or I would have.
I didn't see a chrome one for it, Harley has updated picture, they say 29009-08 is black wrinkle.
You can return for credit.
Use return # XXXXXXX

I like the idea of matching the engine paint, since chrome is out. Frankly wouldn't have thought of it if not for you guys. Did you leave the finish wrinkle when you painted it? Any picts?
Thanks
-
Which would be better to have chromed: black wrinkle or black painted?
-
thanks Roady for the Diagram. the part# for the Granite paint is 98606CTN

No problem. If anyone wants the new updated directions for the breather that Zanotti's sent to me send me a PM with your email and I will send them to you. I didnt look like a whole lot changed other then throttle body cover part numbers. I just may go with the Granite paint as well.
-
I used the paint on my starter and the spark plug finned bridge and the throttle body support bracket to act as the spacer for my AN Big Sucker. My wife stopped my when I walked in the back door shaking the can, :drink:

Here is a picture of the painted back plate.
-
Hmmm, wonder what it would cost to chrome it? or I could cover it with snake skin, :2vrolijk_21:
-
A different design with a cleaner look and chrome would be nice.
-
Whoever designed that plate should be fired.
-
I originally got quotes from 45 - 60 dollars to get it chrome plated. I dont know for sure what I am going to do now. The black one is on there for now but I would have rather had chrome.
-
Where did the estimate come from? As soon as my extra one arrives, it's going straight to the chrome shop!
-
I started a thread on it a while back.
http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=35754.0
I contacted the two companies listed in there. You may also want to look around locally in your yellow pages because all the shipping and handling charges add up quickly.

I too am looking to install the SE heavy breather on my SERK there are a couple of things holding me back, one was the black backing plate and the other is the exposed EFI manifold.
I know that there is a chome EFI Manifold cover that is available but the part description specifies that it only fits 02-07 touring. Has anyone tried to put this on any '08 later touring?
Also, wondering whether anyone else tried using chome paint on the backing plate instead of the charcoal, I'm thinking that this should work as well - may not be an exact match as chrome plating but would be cheaper.

The throttle body plate most like wouldn't fit on 08s and newer as the throttle body is larger on these bikes. (They switched to 50mm in 08). Looking at the parts list, the throttle body cover fits around the intake like a gasket, so it would be too small for the newer throttle bodies.
:devil:

Hi,
All of my Heavy Breather parts were chrome.
Got them via the Singapore HD dealer.......
cheers

I got the EFI manifold cover for the heavy breather for my SERG, am using it in conjunction with the Big Sucker, came in black, painted it Granite

Lets see it on the bike...... :worthless:
-
Hi,
Do not have any pics of it on the bike, as I changed the heads for R&R.
This caused fitting issues as the breather bolts did not line up.
I have a couple of pics showing the mis-alignment - you can see that the backplate is chrome...........
I ended up fitting an S&S tuned single bore system........
Cheers

And the other one.....................
