SE Heavy Breather install Question

I just bought a se heavy breather for my 08 flhx and I'm looking at the instructions and it says for proper installation this kit requires breather screws 29465-08 I was wondering if everyone has purchased these or did you use your original mounting bolts.

Thanks

the bolts you are asking about should be the same as original equipment on 08 or later touring bikes, reread instructions and compare the bolts to the ones in the picture.

If you have the factory intake (the football) then you already have those breather bolts. The only time they would be different is if you put on a different intake like the SE ventilator.

When I purchased the bike new the dealer installed the se aircleaner on it and it is mounted with what looks like regular bolts---the ones that it calls for in the heavy breather instructions look they have a small in the center of them.

You should still have the vented breather bolts. They are brass colored if I remember right. I just did this install yesterday. Good luck getting the old intake support braket. It is a mother...I have a tip if you run in to trouble...Shoot me a PM if it comes to that.

Breather bolts

I just purchased Screaming Eagle Heavy Breather for my 2008 road King. I had all sorts of fuel mix problems. Later I found out that I did not have the part no 29465-08 bolts. Ok after ı get the bolts where does the oil that comes from the heads go? Any solutions? Thanks Asya from Turkey.
