I saw that guy (the annoying one) at a bar 2 weeks ago!! Not as annoying in real life - thank god.

 

he's a comedian from philly. just a regular dude who's funny as **** and loves to fish. if you know bass fishing, mike iaconelli is also from the area and the two of them hooked up for some fun. this is funny.

Talking about brackets and stuff u used the dk bracket and there was about a 3mm gap between the bracket and the cyclinders (where the breather bolts go in) is it OK to torque this down so they sit flush or should I use washers to space it out?

 

Both are ok. Torque it down, or use a washer and torque it down. Torque specs from Harley are 40-60 INCH pounds.

 

awesome, other than that gap, everything was awesome with that kit, cheers.

 

How did you dye the filter element?

I am having my tins repainted and thought I would try this mod while the tank is off.

I like the look of the dyed filter,and will probably go with a blue color,but am unsure how to dye it.

 

man i'm pissed. i really hoped that the breather bolts from dk were gonna solve my blow by issue and they haven't. it's a little more than mist now. i don't think i got this much with the hose and "baby filter" element. .....bummed.

 

ride home yesterday same thing, fvcken oil all over the side of my bike. now i thought i was running the oil pretty low but when i got home this is what i found. first of all, the manual says to check the oil on the stand, when i do that i see it barely register on the stick but due to the steeper lean of the bike on the stand because of the tires i'm running i can see why. when i stand the bike up and check the oil, it registers half way between the fill and full lines on the stick. i'm thinking i might need to take the ole turkey baster and suck sum oil out and run it a lil lower but how is everyone checking their oil level? stand or standing up?

 

I always check the oil level hot and straight-up, not on the side stand. Our bikes don't have swivel dip sticks and the manual was a cut and paste job from a softtail that had a swivel dip stick. You can check the oil level on the side stand with a dip stick that leans with the bike. So here is what I've got.

HOT:

On side stand the oil is hardly touching the bottom of the dip stick.

Straight-up, the oil is halfway up the dipstick perfectly where it should be and this is the only level that matters.

I have never once had any blow-by issues or oil leaking out my breather or the new air filter after a couple hundred miles. Been filling it like this every oil change for 10,000+ miles.

 

I'm curious too
