Pulled the tear drop cover

this filter is terrible... i'm 99% sure the dealer didn't even touch it... it has prompted me to do a full service this weekend. no telling what else was 'kinda' done

 

filthy throttle body.

better





7/16 deep socket to remove the filthy breather bolts

unfurled the ness mess





mounted gaskets (used oil to hold them in place)





bolted up the goods with loctite. i used red on the banjo bolts and blue on all the rest

filter mounted and bolts torqued to 5 ft/p





cover on and torqued to 5 ft/p done.... stage task 1 of 3 complete.

 

nice...the only thing I dislike about the big sucker is you cant vent the crankcase to full atmosphere....

 

Yep, that's why I went with the DK Custom 587 with their breather bolts on my '13 Wide Glide, venting back to atmosphere is important; no hot dirty oily crankcase air back into the air cleaner, engines like cool dry air

Nice write up and images cvaria!

 

it can be done, just drill and tap to 1/8 FPT, screw in some fittings and plug the vent holes in the air cleaner body.

 

I know, just a pita.

 

added a rain sock... operation sporty match continues.





bra and bid popped up as well





role model




yeah it would be nice to vent out and have a not oily filter bottom. blowby has been a constant issue on my sporty. i looked at all the catch cans and fixes... there's even a return to oil tank hose i saw somewhere.

That's an oil pressure gauge. It's separate
