Default Crankcase ventilation

I just bought a 2021 Road Glide Special. Do I really need a crankcase breather while my bike is still stock? I here a lot of things online and don't know what to believe. Hoping I can get more insight on here. Thanks.

no, you don’t…it already has breathers stock…stop “hearing things online” and go enjoy riding the **** out it without worry…it really is that simple.

Imagine how much fun you'd have if you didn't read the BS on the internet.... the answer to your question is no, but that's only if you choose to believe me.

Well I like mine but likely the vast majority of M8's are completely stock. Just for your info I went with the DK customs set up and it's very well made.

It wouldn't change my answer to your very legit question, so I'll just sit back and watch the show.

changing my answer to I think you should reroute external breathers, get a ventilated dipstick as well as a ventilated trans cover so your poor fragile delicate Harley can function properly. Sounds like you are already a subject matter expert on how to keep your vag clean so we’re done here
