I'm in the process of looking over the changing of my air cleaner kit. After removing the throttle body bracket with some you install a small piece of plastic to organize a couple of wires but with the Fuel moto air cleaner there is no piece of plastic. My question is do you just put the two Allen screws back in the holes or leave them empty.
Thanks

You could get the ACR wire bracket(#13, PN 16325-10) that comes with the HD high flow kit
If you didn't want to get the bracket, if it were my bike I would put blue locktite on the threads and put them in so they don't get lost and keep the holes from filling with crap.

The earlier SE air cleaner kits did not include that plastic bracket and discovered that the CVO models had this bracket so had my parts guy look it up on a CVO model and order it for me. It cost about 6 dollars, cheapest part I ever bought and told the parts guy that HD should include this in the kit, they did include it some time later. Many folks earlier on ran their bikes without this bracket but it bothered me to just leave those wires loose.

I hear you about those wires just dangling loose. I could get one of those $6 parts but I wonder if once I put that on if the FM breather back plate will fit properly. I need a couple of answers from FM in the morning.
Thanks
When I put the SE air cleaner on mine in January of 2015 I did not like letting those wires dangle free either. I modified the bracket (piece B in the drawing above) by cutting the front and rear tabs off that the breather bolts went through. Two bolts behind it still mount it to the throttle body. Painted it black and reinstalled the original factory wire retaining piece. The SE air cleaner bolted right up with no interference issues. 33,000 miles later it's still working great.
Mine has been like this sense 2014 right after I changed the A/C. Hole plugs are from the hardware store...1/4 inch plugs.
The wires are your ACR's and they are not going anywhere

That's exactly how my '14 Limited looks. Wires haven't budged in a year-and-a-half since I installed the breather assembly.

If Im reading this right you have the FM backing plate. If that true you dont have to take off the throttle body bracket unlike the Screaming Eagle kit. When I put my FM kit on I didnt take that bracket off.
