I put on a new exhaust, and modified my front pulley cover and added a customized RSD cover. While I was at it, I hit the rocker box covers with some textured HD paint...

Looked at mine in the garage. Wishing the snow would melt!

Found the correct breather kit waiting at home in the mail box after work so I installed the breather and Sledge air cleaner this evening. Install was a breeze and it looks sweet!

Thanks to Kevin for supplying me with a couple of stage 1 tunes to try out with my TTI exhaust setup, despite being super busy. Didn't get to test ride it tonight so I will have to wait until the morning ride to work. Next on the list is a Bassani RR3 pipe then saving for the Hammer!

I ran the breather hose forward for a more discrete look. It is still visible but much better than if I had routed it towards the rear.

You can see where I attached the breather filter to the frame. I left a bit of slack in hose so the movement of the engine doesn't yank on it.

If you're going for 'stealth' with the external breather, the Bluegrass Breather Kit is a bit less noticeable than the 'horseshoe' version you're
using now. Here's a link to some pictures:
