Nah, still futzing around with it. It's all AN fittings & braided lines,
down to a catch-can then vented "down to the ground"

thanks,

Got around to installing the items I got for Christmas. DK Customs 425 Outlaw ac with premium discrete breather system. I already had their catch can so I decided to try this first instead of the filter, and I added an in-line ET Performance crank case breather valve as a backup to the umbrella valves. And also installed the analog tach /digital combo and fuel sender unit. All went in without a hitch.

Thanks Sam 48! Just remember to have the fuel sender, the jumper (replaces the low fuel resistor which is included) and the gauge installed before re-installing the main fuse and switching on the key. Both fuel sender and speedo will sync with no problems.

I've been eyeballing that speedo/tach combo at Surdyke myself. Just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.

Is it as simple as unplugging the connector from the back of the factory speedo, and plugging in the new one other than the settings?

Inquiring minds need to know...

Yes it's that easy provided you don't want the fuel gauge. If you do want the fuel gauge then the tank needs to be removed. Still a very easy process. I removed my tank last weekend only because I was looking for something to do which took about 45 minutes (only because I'm **** with the way I do things). Tonight was about an hour total for the complete installation.
