Default Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather Differences?

Does anyone know why the Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather has different part numbers for Touring models vs Dyna & Softail models? I had one for sale and a friend with a 2006 Streetglide said he wanted it. Some said it would fit while others said the throttle body is different between these models. He never came up with the money so I've already sold it but I'm curious about the differences... if any.

I believe the difference has to do with the mounting. I seem to remember something about the tank would be in the way.

Yep, it has to do with the shape and having to clear fairing I think.

The Heavy Breather that fits the 08 and 09 Softails and Dynas will fit 07 and earlier Touring Models. In 2008 Harley put a bigger 58mm throttle body on the Touring Models.
