Default Heavy Breather on a FatBoy?

My boss was told he couldn't put a Heavy Breather on his '01 (carb'd) FatBoy. I told him "Never trust parts counter guys or HD catalog fitment claims", and that I'd ask the experts. So does anyone have one, with a picture or two I can show him? Also, the p/n of your HB? Thanks, from the Dyna side of the house.

Go to www.jpcycles.com "air cleaner" section they have many. As far as Best
that is up to him and his pocket. K&H filters are good.

Why not? It's the same 96 cube motor put in every other softail.

I've got a Screamin Eagle Heaver Breather off a 2005 Fatboy if you want to give it a try.

PKellyMc,
Did you get your answer yet? I am wanting to put the Heavy Breather on my 03 FatBoy, but I am not sure if the throttle body is 50mm, I thought it was only 48mm. Any info you have found will be helpful, part numbers, or anything. Thanks
