If you run your oil to the top level it will but not much.

Whats the best way as far as getting the breather bolts with the screens or go with the thing off of ebay? By the way I did the mod just not quite finished with it yet still need to paint it, I want to match the crinkle paint on the motor.

so i'm thinking about getting some breather bolts from dk but they offer two different lengths, anyone know which size to get if you're running the cv carb backing plate that we're all running?

i'm guessing the smaller one's right?

If they have a short one...around 1" that'll work.

I finally finished my set up today , I made the air filter match my bike a little better then the white paper filter.

Yeah, the bottom picture is 1" total length, 3/4" thread. These are the right size if using a standard support bracket.

Sorry for that not being in the specs on the page. Will be fixing that.
