I did a couple of winters ago when I did cams and finished blacking out the motor. Loctite was used everywhere the manual said to use it....so, without looking back at that right now, I can't say with 100% certainty it was used on these specific bolts...it the manual said it, i did it.
unless....those rat bastards at Black Hills HD took it off when they fixed my broken clutch cable as i was leaving town....
... just kidding, tehy helped me out quite a bit, they'd have no reason to touch that (I wouldn't think) but they were the last to work on it.
I'll dig in tonight, get out the blue loctite and get it rolling again.
it does seem like I would hear a lot more feedback from the exhaust with that wide of a gap in there....wouldn't I??

It's the intake, so you wouldn't hear any more exhaust sound. But with that said...... in your first post you said something about a deceleration pop. Since the air cleaner assembly was bouncing around, chances are you may need to replace your intake seals.
Once you get it buttoned back up, spay a quick burst of brake cleaner on the intake manifold (the "Y" tube) with the engine at idle. Use the little straw tube thing to get an accurate spray. If the bike dies, you have an intake leak. Brake cleaner is non flammable and will kill the engine if it gets sucked into the intake.
(NOTE) Do NOT use propane, as some people say to...... unless you like fire under your fuel tank.

Did you replace it already? I got one laying in a box if you want it. NC
