Getting prepared to do mine. Do I have to use suck large tubing, or could I use the smaller tubing like the same size as the factory tubing?
Me personally don't see the need for such large tubing. there is very little oil/moisture that comes through there in the first place. Use common sense though and don't use weed-eater size fuel line as that will surely clog up and could create other issues in the top end.
I am planning on doing this mod soon. I Have the same breather as UltaNutz and plan on following his directions for drilling the back plate. But I am going to do the breather filter like fwb35
I was thinking of dressing it up and using braided tubing with AN fittings but I can't seem to find a breather with threaded inputs either dual input or single input.
Anyone know where I can find a filter one like in the picture?
J&P Cycles online has a chrome one by Kuryakyn
Ooops nevermind, you wanted threaded. Or get one of the ones you posted and maybe you can change/use whatever fittings you want.
Ive found quite a bit of info with searches throughout the forum.
For that reason, I didn't want to start an entirely new thread.
I figured I could ask here since my questions are in line with this topic.
Ive got the AC pictured below. It has "ears" on it that block the bolts/holes that the vent systems connect to.
I thought it'd be necessary to get the DK until I checked that.
Anybody have any idea how I could vent my TB with this AC?
since Arlen Ness seems to be super-secretive about their installation instructions, I can't help with this but it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out a way to pipe that oil back out of the TB/backplate

clean it up real well with carb cleaner before you proceed. Make sure to clean out that Pintel hole in the top of the TB also. The straw from the carb cleaner can fits perfectly in there.

Does that mean its overfull, and could be contributing to the oil in the TB?
too much oil and yes it will contribute to oil in your TB

How do I clean that off without discoloring or damaging the finish?
Appreciate the help fellas and ladies.
use rags to lay around the area and spray carb or brake cleaner on the oil spots to get them off
I did this to my SE intake and works great. Tapped and put couple set screws to close off oil weep holes on intake. Installed two 1/8"NPT x 1/4" barb fittings. Used one 1/'4" T- fitting one 90deg elbow with 1/4"high temp hose and routed to ground.

I really want to resolve this crap now since my bike is still relatively new.
Just want to avoid aforementioned issues, altogether.
Again, thanks much NutZ
