Default E3 160 on an 06 FLHX?

I've searched the threads, read the posts, and seen the pictures on guys putting the 160 E3 on SG's but they seem to be 07's and 08's. I know there are pretty much the same bike but the 06 being a 5 speed, are there belt and pulley differences that would cause a clearance issue? All of the wide tire kits for baggers are different for the 06's than the 07-08 bikes.

I've got an MU90 E3 on now and love it. Just a little wimpy looking next to the 09's. I'm not really one to think that the tire makes that much difference. Mostly because any worn out tire rides poorly and replacing it with any new tire will be an improvement for a while. But I can say that the E3 seems to make a real difference even as the miles ad up.Thanks.
