I got a breather kit for my sportster it came from a local supplier and it is this one http://www.vtwinmfg.com/webapp/wcs/s..._143688_143690 I have no instructions on how it goes on and there is nothing on there website that I can find. Anyone out there have a clue on how this thing installs? I don't think it will work the bolts are way to small compared to the stock ones?
TIA

The bolts are shorter because they go straight to the carb & heads instead of through a big plastic air cleaner backing plate.

Loosely thread the 3 bolts through the bracket into the carb then run the head bolts through the nippled breather spacers, then through the bracket and loosely into the heads. Torque the head bolts evenly moving from one to the other. Then tighten the carb bolts...or remove them to fit your new air cleaner backing plate.

Remember all of the appropriate seals.

 

Thanks for the info. this kit does not have a T to hook the tubes together. So how does this work or do I need to get a T? Do I loop the hose in a circle with the filter in the middle?
As I said I can not for the life of me figure this one out.
Thanks Again

Your nippled (or "barbed") head bolt spacers need to point in the direction you want the tubes to go when you tighten them down...usually straight down. Then you take the hose and hook it to both barbed nipples. So right now one breather is hooked to the other. Figure out where you need to cut off of each side of that hose (leave extra and cut more later if you need to. It's deceiving) and then hook each open end of that hose to the filter. Your filter should have a nipple on each end. This will be your "T".
