Default James Blue Intake Gaskets
Hi, has anyone tried the James Intake gaskets with any success? I tried a pair and could not get them to work, they were just to tight. They look great, larger than the HD ones but just to thick to get the bolts started. I used soap and water as well. My ride is a 2006 injected FLHT. Thanks

Never had any problem with them, but the lataest we ever used them on is an'04, but yours should be the same!! Maybe you got a bad set.

Did you ever get them to fit? I've been catching hell trying to get them on my 06 Fatboy.
