Default Problem with my Intake

First off my bike is an 06 Stree Bob, 88ci, stock engine, just intake, exhaust and power commander for perforamce. Now the problem i'm having is that there is a tube that comes out from the top two bolts of each cylinder jug, wraps around my Forcewinder Intake from a rubber hose that ends just under the air filter and emits a fine mist of oil. I've seen other intakes that block those bolts off the head, was wondering if I can do the same? Or even so what can I do to stop getting the oil from emitting out, i've been told that the dealer may have over filled the oil in my bike but not qute sure. Here are the pics of what im lookint at.Problem with my Intake-intake1.jpg

that open ended hose needs to go somewhere.......

meaning...... DO NOT block off this passage.

This is your crankcase breathing..........

either extend the line to somewhere under your machine,
or, into a catch can (pictured both ways below)

Most systems recirculate the *mist* back into the engine.

I bet that hose is come off a fitting under the intake. +1 with mudd on this, don't block off that hose or you could have far worse problems.

that's probably the most likely explanation senior.

the pictures don't show enough,
unless it is designed to route to one of the plugs at the back end of the air cleaner.

Well I looked at the intake from all angles, the house is not disconnected from any spots of the intake, just like you said Mud its a breather, and I will prob. do what you have shown me is reroute the tube further down below the bike most likely with a stainless braided line of somesort. I'm thinkng a black stainless braided line would blend right into the color's im running on the bike. Thanx for all your help, much appreciated!
