Where did you get the breather kit? I am looking for one like that.
Trask makes the kit to go with their intake. I did have to get the t fitting from the parts store and the Catch Can I got off Amazon. Trask makes it to just dump to atmosphere. Wasn't a fan of that.
Ha, I specifically ordered my winter gloves off the HD web site, HD branded. When they arrived.....made in china.
My nephew was wearing his HD zip up riding boots. I asked him, and he took one off and looked......made in china
Prob says "made in china" somewhere on the frame of my ultra classic.
The boss ladies new lightweight HD leather jacket says "Made in India"
My HD branded riding boots say "Made in VietNam. I bought those over Made in China LOL Even though last time I had anything to do with VietNam they were trying to kill me

Crazy world we livein isn't it? Makes me see how its usually a certain few politicians or "leaders" that get us into these wars. Americans tour Nam now and are welcomed as tourists. Proves to me that as a rule, people have no built in hatred of each other. Thanks for serving. I am a Vietnam "era" vet, '72-'75, but was never in country. My brother was, '66-68.
Sadly, when ordering online they never say where the products are made. There is only one store local to me, and that's a 40 mile drive. I have no issue with overseas factories making our stuff, to a point, but china's leaders are purposely trying to hurt us, and many other countries.
Does it really matter though? These things are mass produced.
If it were some real craftsmanship, sure, I get that you'd look for Made in the U.S.A., but who wants to work at or below minimum wage on an assembly line? Made in XXX doesn't mean much in that case.
Yes, it does matter. The chinese are not to be trusted and making them rich from our dollar needs to stop. We need to have of our dollars spent in other countries if not all at home. Someone that wishes they were working would welcome minimum wage, otherwise there would be many unemployed and many entry level jobs vacant in this country. Perhaps i think too much of our own citizens instead of other countries.

I'm with you when it comes to knock-off products, or when workers are exploited, but outsourcing labor if it can be done cheaper and equally as well I have no problem with it. It benefits everyone. It makes the product more affordable, and therefore more accessible.
There are plenty of entry level jobs available in the US. The problem is that people need to take on 3 of them to make a living wage. Fix that, and it solves unemployment offers people more choices where they want to focus their career and give them the chance to pursue happiness.
No the problem, is people want journeyman PAY for entry level jobs. The skilled labor jobs have been going overseas for decades. All that is left are entry level jobs. Those jobs, and their pay, were meant for people starting out, ie, high schoolers, and part time college students, that have supplemented living arrangements.
In the 80's, after 2 yrs of college, and trade classes, I started work as an air conditioning, and refrigeration repairman, at $4 an hour. That was entry level pay, and I was an entry level employee. After 2 1/2 years I was making $12hr. But that is not flipping hamburgers, that was a job that truly took training, experience, and the ability to troubleshoot both electrical, and refrigerant problems. I left that job in '82 to learn air traffic control. Initially I took a $7,000 a year pay cut, for the first 3 months. I was married with one child then. After 27 yrs of ATC work, I made over 6 figures, but I EARNED it.
Many today want that pay right off. Sorry does not happen.
