Default S&S crankcase breather

has anyone used their reed type breather instead of the gear driven type looking for some feed back to make my mind up

Thanks

I was just reading about it in A.I.M. Sounds interesting, and I think I'll try it out the next time I have to go into my motor.

Is that the thing that goes on the crank to stop oil from coming out of the vents into the air cleaner?

I was reading about the reed breather valve in AIM this month as well, and wondered if anyone had tried one yet. I think they run about $100, so I'm wondering if it really does the trick. Seems like it would be well worth it if it fixed the oil coming out of the crankcase vents...

well so far so good i think this going to be the way to go instead of the plastic or even the metal gear driven ones plus it takes the drag off the cam, so i give it a thumbs up i bought it through Dennis kirk for $85 plus shipping
