OK, I guess no one is using the Kuryakyn breather. I have the early style free breathing intake with the external breather pipe. Has anyone with this style intake modified the breather on their twin cam to keep the air filter from dripping oil? I have several ideas in mind, I just want to see what others have done and how well it's working. On this setup the breather hose enters the air cleaner backing plate below the carb throat. When the engine is shut down oil drips from the breather hose on to the air filter. The new style HD free breathing intake (Ness style) has the breather passages incorporated into the air cleaner backing plate with rubber hoses that aim the crankcase vent much closer to the carb/throttle body throat so the oil mist is better able to be sucked right into the intake. Does this setup cure the drip from the air filter when the engine is shut off? Has any one with this new style setup modified the breather?
Any crankase vent run downward would likely drip or need a filter, or collector. There are several on the market to do this. Any crankcase vent run up under the tank as high as possible then down the frame backbone toward the seat would probably return the oil to the engine, eliminating any drip because the oil wont be able to push that high. That's why I was asking about the Kuryakyn breather. In the installation instructions on thier site the preferred vent arrangement with this breather is up under the tank and toward the seat along the frame backbone with no filter. Open hose to atmosphere.
