There is nothing wrong with making the engine breath better especially when you go to a bigger displacment, however more air more of a mist of oil comes with it. If you have too much oil mist going into the engine from the breathers it WILL cause detonation.
The ''Nose Bleed Kit'' is for Evo only...not a TWcam.
Ultra your still getting a mist of oil out of the breathers but it goes unnoticed because of the closed air box.

Good point. Probably the oil is getting consumed in the engine, although it must be a small amount.
I recall that I had an oiling problem on my 1993 FLHS Evo when I changed to the Screaming Eagle type air cleaner. It would spray a fine mist all over the right side of the machine on a long trip. I never worried about it but I used to have to carry a rag with me for it. Ha.
