Default Doherty Machine Power Vents

OK, everybody says this is the 'cat's ***'.
So, who has one, and are the Power vents worth the extra $80+ ?
My '06 Street Bob is injected, witht the Delphi unit.
Thanks,

Awww, go ahead & get em, then buy a brass or chrome 'T' & some 3/8" fuel line (SS mesh if you prefer) & vent your breathers to atmosphere...

Thanks for the pic, Vic. Where does yours dump out/into?
As for "it's only money" fj4069, yep, but it's money I could otherwise spend on powder coating
Thanks,

Vic. Where does yours dump out/into?
There are several variations of thismod, & eachone eliminates any possibility of allowing thenasty oil mist goo backinto your engine togum/carbon up intakes, injectors, combustion chambers, cyl walls,pistons etc. Some run each breather hose into a vented catch-can under the air filter (where I have the'T' on mine). I ran my 'final' ventline from the 'T' around the rear cyl base, & down between the crankcase & tranny. Some guys put a filter and/or catch-can on the end here & others don't. I don't. I'm sure there are many other ways to effect this same end, bottom line: running breathers back into the air kit is BAD, sorta like cholesterol for your engine. I just ain't gonna let that chit getin there.

Hey Thank You, Vic. I really appreciate your help on this. So does it drip any with no catch can? Or is it mostly a mist that escapes.
Thanks,
Kent

Hey, cool. Thank You, Vic. I was concerned about not only 'marking my trerritory' but also oil on the rear tire. But it beats re-circulating the crap back into the motor.

As I mentioned, there are several ways to accomplish this same end. If you'd be more comfy w/a filter orcatch-can have at it.Heck, you'd prolly bein the majority. Just remember thatthey'll need a certain amount of maint...I'm just lazy & prefer not tohave to worry about clogged filters or rocketing oil filler caps.

I think several are using this Golan Products catch-can/filter:
