Default Air breather

Looks good but what gets done with the oil breather head bolts and can I use the stock air breather mount for this? Thank you

if you read the whole thing it will tell you what can be done w/the breathers ..and you can not use the stock backing plate....if you really want to go cheap just replace the air filter with a k&n filter or go to ebay and do a search for after market air filters for your bike (knockoff k&N filters) and it will help a ton with breathing better...

That is a good tutorial that fikser posted!

You could use the stock backplate if you really want to get ghetto with it and dremel off the extra plastic.

As for the breathers, you could use the stock bolts and run hoses down to a catch can, someone posted a really cool brass ammo catch can here recently.
