Default 2008 Air Cleaners

I'm having a hard time finding an air cleaner setup to use with my 08 FLHX. Currently running the SE paper.

S&S is coming out with twin tuned but they don't know when and it's too large to begin with.
Dohertyis still using tubes and nothing for an 08.
Wimmer is coming out with a new IBS (No catches)for the 08 in about a month. That means about 4-6 months.
TPmakes anawesome A/C but not for an 08. They are getting back to me.
Zippers told me...."Not Yet, Not Yet". I swear I read someone was using this product for an 08.

That leaves the AR Big Sucker which I don't like. Anyone have any ideas? All I really need is a K&N type filter that fits the SE A/C 29260-08 until Wimmerputs their product out.I hate to dump 2 bills on a Big Sucker as I know I will toss it.

What about the HD heavy duty A/C. It's the cone style.

Stock back plate only, that's how I read it.

Something wrong with SE ?

Do a search or check with Dawg.

He took the old K&N, drilled new holes, plugged the old ones. Several people have done it.

The K&N filter fits physically, just the holes are in the wrong spot.

That or wait. I'm sure they or others willcome out with one soon and the SE should workuntil then.

What about the SE Heavy Breather? It is really sharp looking, maybe someone will post up a pic of one on a bagger.....

Except for the the 08's with a 58mm throttle body. K&N does not have a backplate designed for them as of yet.
