145 looks correct, just like mine. It has the spacers you need and the correct breather bolts and the chrome washer/covers......

Now I know why you're not going back to that shop....could've been an honest mistake though.....

Hahahaha

Lol. Seriously! But it looks like the 145 is only for carb models. The 137 says for delphi efi. And the year range on 145 is only to 1999. Confusing

You have an 05+ you should have a SSW+ engine therefore it doesn't breath through the head bolts that's what the separate black hoses coming out of the head do, with that one way check valve. So I think your bracket and bolts are fine except I assume the spacer was added because the holes are not correct?

In 2004 and earlier BD installed just the SSW engines which breathed through those head bolts and you need those special banjo bolts.

Mark, your engine doesn't have black hoses coming out of the top of the heads? All 05+ 117 should be S&S Super Sidewinder Plus. Although I know your bottom end is unpolished too. So maybe you got some kind of leftover?

Here's an article from S&S

Right. I just got the right bracket. You're exactly right. They added that bracket so the holes would line up. After a ton of phone calls and researching I finally got the right bracket. Going to replace it sometime this week. We'll see

Cool! Yeaa the cheapo bracket doesn't mate up correctly. I looked into it when I got my Spike cause I couldn't understand why some were $60 and d&m wanted $150. Well only $150 I found out fits haha
