Tear drop vs round air cleaner
I have a 2012 Street Bob with the tear drop style air cleaner, but I like the look of the round ones on the 2013+ models. If I get the whole AC round assembly, will it match up and is a perfect fit to my 2012 or are there mount modifications between the two?
Not sure, though it probably would (I doubt there were any differences between the two EFIs, cylinders etc...).
But, it looks like DK customs, and probably others, makes some pretty good versions which look like they fit...

I appreciate everyone's feedback regarding using an aftermarket or stage I AC, hoepwever, my question is can is swap out a STOCK teardrop AC with a STOCK round? I understand the complete assembly must be changed etc., all I want to know is will it be a straight bolt on or will it not fit? Anyone done this??

I'll check out the link and see if the round one fits for sure. I'm guessing the round vs the teardrop separated by only one year will be a straight bolt on. Thanks!!

The teardrop vs the round filter. You do know that the round filter element uses a different backing plate. Because they do. Look through a HD Parts & accessory catalog and you'll see the difference. Right around $50 bucks through Harley. I have several of each type, and they all use the two mounting bolts, but some will not align with your throttle body. HD part # is cast into the aluminum backing plate. Hope this helps.

Have you compared the two if you have them both? Will the the round filter backing plate shown for the 2013 FXDB # 29347-08 be a direct replacement for the football backing plate shown for the 96 c.i. FXDB # 29182-08A ?
