Morning guys,
Before I start ordering and loosening etc - will the stuff shown below ( the old roll your own air cleaner thread ) still work on the 2008? I have a nice SE cover and a K&N filter over on the bench waiting for a home!
thanks

The Screamin' Eagle air cleaner kits currently available DO NOT come with the superior K&N oiled air filter element. The non-oiled paper elements that H-D currently uses are not very durable, and in fact some of the rubber gaskets have shown major deterioration in 5000 miles. You can do as I did, which is to throw the paper element in the weeds and buy the real K&N filter element (or the similar element from Zippers or Arlen Ness). Unfortunately, this involves additional expense on top of the rather excessive price for the original SE kit. There is another way for those who haven't purchased the kit yet. Purchase the K&N filter (K&N part number HD-0800, internet or direct, approximately $45 to $50), then buy the chrome back plate ($40) and the studs/screws/etc. individually from your dealer. The following H-D part numbers, combined with the K&N filter element, equals a kit like the old SE air cleaner, without the added expense of the throwaway paper element, and with a better looking chrome back plate:
Back Plate, Chrome 29510-05
Gasket 29583-01A
Breather Tube - rubber (2) 29557-05
"O" ring (2) 11292
Stud, mounting (3) 29447-99A
Screw, button head (3) 3938[/color]
