First I have to admt to dropping the bike at my friends place on my ride yesterday. He has a steep grade into a sharp corner on a balbearing graveled driveway and knowing that, I was at less than walking pace going down and even slower at the turn in to the corner but it still cought me and ended up taking the fall on the air cleaner which unfortunately sheared off the bolts at the head for the oil catch cans. I was able to straighten the air cleaner base plate to aligne the bolts with the holes and used a nut back against the catch can with the open end lined up with the breather hole in the head so while not perfect allowed me to continue the ride but for the life of me I can not find the exact type of catch can in the screamin eagle online catalogue so I can hopefully just buy replacement bolts. I woundered if you recognise the unit and can point me in the direction of replacment bolts.

Thank you Gliderider22.
I measure 2 1/16 from the flange to the head so it needs to be 2 1/4 - 2 3/8 to have any thread into the head with the breather hole an 1nch from the flange

Yeah those are long bolts, I have a couple questions
is the nut on the backside something you added or is it being used as a spacer?
is the air intake components supported by those bolts alone?

The nut was just to secure the catch cans on the plate as the bolt sheared at the head. There is another of the spacers with fiber washers that should be in place of the nut. The bolts have only secondary/minimal hold of the air intake unit with the majority hold being by the usual air intake mounting
