Yep, Thanks for that link, it clenched the deal, I was unsure and was cross referencing between bikes and had decided they would work, both bikes run the same motor..the link to the post you provided was what i needed.

On my 07 the original breather bolts (with the football a/c) are shorter than the ones you need for the Crossbones. I'm assuming the same is true for '10 but obviously can't swear to that.
Hit your dealership and have the parts guy call up the schematics and parts lists for both bikes. Compare the part numbers and you'll quickly see what you do and don't need to change out. And get him to print out the schematic for you - I assume you don't have a Softail parts manual.
The breather bolts are $4.95 and the one gasket you need (goes between the filter and the backing plate) is like $3.95. The gasket that goes between the backing plate and the throttle body is the same on both a/c's since the throttle body is the same. Since your bike is new you should be able to reuse yours. I put a new one on just cause I'm **** about that stuff.
Everything else interchanges - the filter and the bracket that holds the filter on the CB are different than the one on the football but that should come with what you're buying. The bolts that fasten the filter/bracket to the backing plate are the same as what you have.
Oh, and you'll need different breather hoses, but I assume you're getting those with the take-off you bought. They are shaped totally different than the football ones.

Put mine on last night. Taddeoeg hooked me up with the idea and a bunch of parts info. Crazy as it may seem I didn't need new breather bolts. I'm going to pick up a set anyway and interchange them to see if that changes the fit at all, but I ran my bike last night after installing the new kit and it ran fine.
Mine came with all new stuff (two new gaskets, new air filter, new hoses...etc). The only thing that didn't come along are the breather bolts.
