Thinking about a heavy breather kit for my 2011 SESG...Can't remember if I have seen one that fits on a bike with lowers and speakers..does it exist?

What about the New HD Agitator, they match the wheels.
Good picture in reply #17

Haven't seen one that claims to fit with speakers, but there are two versions of the HB.  The only difference on the one for bikes with lowers is a shorter filter element.  I suppose if someone needed another quarter inch or so to clear speakers they could check with K&N and see if they have an even shorter element.  At some point however, further shortening of the filter is bound to reduce flow and the appearance will suffer as well.

Latest from the H-D catalog:

28716-10A
Fits '08-later Touring models equipped with Fairing Lower Glove Boxes (except models equipped with fairing lower speakers). Street legal when used with Original Equipment throttle body. Also fits with 58mm Throttle Body P/N 27713-08 and 27639-07A.

That's the one I was looking for..Thanks Jerry...

Do you think it comes that close to the speakers?? Anybody ever seen it on a bike with lower speakers???

Here's some pics from another thread showing the shorter filter with lowers.

Lowers--yes...lowers with speakers--no......from what I hear, it won't work with lowers with speakers.

I've also been told the Heavy Breather won't work with lowers/speakers.

I've seen some people who angle the HB down so that it's not mounted horizontally, but at about a 120 degree angle so that it's end is below the speaker housing.  It should function the same, just looks a little funky.  I don't think I would do it, personally.

I currently have the Heavy Breather on my 11 SESG but had to remove the lowers. I tried the shorter version and it was still hitting the speaker grills. I figured if I was going to remove the lowers and use the Heavy Breather I would use the regular length version, the short one looked stupid plus less filter surface/air flow. I kept my stock 110 breather to put back on if I ever chose to run with the lowers. Just is too warm in Florida to run with the lowers on.
