Just a suggestion, I would turn those banjo fittings straight down or inward just a little bit and shorten those hoses just a bit. When summer time hits and those hides get a little heat on them they're gonna droop a little. The way you have it now that filter will be bouncing around on top of your cam chest. Could even rub through the powder coat.

I have a question also partaing to the breather location.
Oil will sometimes drip from my AN big sucker and the air turbulence will cause small droplets to get on my exhaust head pipe.
With the crank case breather at your location I would suspect the same thing? I would have located it under or between the engine and frame.

The Dk instructions show I can mount above the air cleaner, this way gravity will actually help drain oil back into motor so it doesn't drip out. I am going to try that first and then see how it works out. I am not crazy about wanting that oil back in motor because usually that oil will have condensation. maybe Dk will chime in?

Hey I was that guy ordering also 
Dk recommended that I order the complete brother system instead of Discreet kit. I also told them I would be using the fuel Moto pro billet with stock cover. Received mine but haven't installed yet. Hopefully I have the right kit. They both look similar but mine does not have a tee. Filter basically goes where t is at in your pic.

I have the DK custom 587 high flow AC. I messed around for a while trying different locations for that small filter attached to the breather tubes. I finally took the advice from someone else and got rid of the filter. I used a brass T fitting and then ran a single line to the ground. Works great, I wish I would have used this set up from day one.
