I've had blowby on my RK but it seemed to be more prevalent when lugging up grades.
At least for me, grabbing a lower gear seemed to help reduce the amount of blowby.
Can't say why but since&nbsp\\;I put on the Mik42, haven't had a bit of trouble

Nice set up for a sporster. For Lee123 if you haven't had your cam chain tension shoes changed yet I would have the shop check the umbrella valves and the oil separator/filter in the rocker covers. this could have something to do with it. Some one mentioned watch your oil level, the softail engines(B motors)&nbsp\\;are more prevalent to this. I have 31k miles on my 02 dyna and haven't experienced this, yet. Yes it's wound up every now and then with two up. Good luck.
