Default SE backplate
I'm looking to buy a used SE backplate. Does anyone know if the 3 stock bolts will work to fasten it to the EFI?

Thanks

I have one I just took off my carbed bike, and it was held on by the three bolts that are studds that the air cleaner attaches too. On mine it states that it is for ALL models, carb or EFI, so I am pretty sure you will not need any of your stock parts.

I guess you could if you are not going to be using a K&N type filter...Here is a picture with the filter element off.

Not sure if they are available from the dealer by themselves??? I guess you could use a threaded connector and a long set screw???

I have a new set and filter that goes with a stage II that I am not going to use. Any interest in those?
