Lee my bike had the "E" Carb with the restrctors and a gasket/shim combo to make up the difference in the manifold and the taller cyl heads! If you remove the carb you may be able to look in the manifold with a small mirror to see if they are in place. When my exhaust was changed and the restrctors were removed the dealer used new intake gaskets with the old gasket/shim combo. If you have the "G" carb I don't beleive there are any restrictors ?
Thanks V.
Thanks V.
Lee, all 05's to my knowledge had restrictor plates. You can remove them but you need the spacers to make up the difference in clearance. You can try to go without them but you will have sealing problems. Or you can order a standard full size manifold.
Here is a pic of the restrictor plate under a spacer plate. And the spacer plate next to it. You may find that they have already been removed but if not get WB Cycles (Nelson) here to order you a set of the spacers.

Lee, yes you will have to rejet. Big difference in size of opening! 
Seatmaker, look at the left side manifold bolt that is open ended and will be able to determine if they are there or not.
In my pic you reposted the left side spacer is on top of the restictor plate and the right side is just the spacer by itself. If you don't replace the restictor plates with the spacers you WILL have sealing problems eventually!!

so you can see if they are there without removing or loosening the manifold? if yes what exactly are we looking for? Ray, you have probably said this in your post but I don't really follow as it looks to me as though the restrictor part will be inside the manifold - i.e. not visible until you remove or loosen it up
Lee, here is the spacer in place. It's in between the manifold and head. If you look closely you may be able to see from the left side if there is a spacer or restrictor plate in place.Here is a pic of the spacer plates in place.

This hasn't seen day light for a while, let's see what I can learn! Are the restrictor plates still in use today? And do you suppose they'd be in my 07 K9 from the factory?
