Ok, I will take a picture of my 08 SEUC this evening with V&H Big Shot Duals showing the brake pedal clearance and post.

I actually saw the duals installed on bike. It was hitting badly on brake pedal. Would have to do some serious notching to get to work...The dealer is 70 miles away from me or i'd go back & see if would work. I called V&H and the tech person said that they got the duals to work on the 08's. I asked him if they tried them on a SEUC & there response was yes....

You can also check with the D&D folks....very good technically over the phone.
They might be able to tell you if their True Duelies will fit.  I put them on my SEEG with V&H oval slip ons.  I love them. Good luck
The more I read the more I don't want an 08  09 Maybe

I heard the 09's are going to replace the tour pack with a cooling tower for the fission reactor sitting between your legs...

Ok, I said I would take a pic and post it showing the clearance between the brake and my V&H True Duals.  Well I am not sure you can tell much about the pictures, as it is pretty hard to get a camera angle that really shows that area.  Anyway, I have about 1/4 inch clearance (maybe you can see it in the pic?).
The set I have has a curved cut-out area on the heat shield at the brake (it was made that way).  I am guessing V&H has changed the heat shield to accommodate the brake since some of the earlier sets that people have had trouble with.

The fitmit problem in the past had had to do with the SE bikes specifically as they use a chrome brake lever that's much thicker than stock. That may be why they fit the street glide mentioned earlier.  If you call the vendors, they may or may not be that faimliar with the SE bikes. I've had clearence problems on my 06. Had to notch a little for the first install, but after a few miles it must of loosened and was making contact again. Had to loosen everything up and put a piece of wood between the bottom of the brake pedal and floorboard to hold it there and re-tighten everything up. Seems to have worked pretty good this time. I don't know if it's the motor alignment or what, but some bikes seem to be more problematic that others. Also, the newer heat shields have a larger notch in that area. If someone were to buy an older set, they may not be notched as much.

Here's some info I just got from Bub on fitting true duals to my 08 SE Ultra. I am still deciding which way to go.

The 2007Rinehart True Dual system will fit the 2008 FL models.
The Screamin Eagle model does require the purchase of an accessory front heat shield to clear the SE brake petal.
The part number for the SE heat shield is 1861-0373.
BUB Enterprises also has our new BUB “7” system of true duals. This system has performance equal to the Rinehart system and there is no need to purchase an extra heat shield.
We do have 2 into 1 systems for the 2008 FL in both the Rinehart and BUB “7” lines.
All of the 2008 systems have dual o2 sensor ports.

Freedom's new elite D exhaust will bolt right on no mods nothing else to buy.  And they are a great exhaust, very quiet on the freeway but still make noise when you crack the throttle.

I put the V/H TD header pipes on my 06 UCSE and have had pure HELL on the right side. Had to ding the pipe & notch the sheild to get the pipe to clear the brake pedal.  Does not look too bad unless you get up close to it ( down on your knees). I must say that I was not happy with the way the pipes fit.
