If you look at the design, it incorporates a venteded area in front of the TB. Im not crazy about using those cheesy rubber hoses and I dont think you need both 90s. By routing a T to the center one you can clean the area up. Id like to use a rigid tubing but attaching it to the OEM nipple requires inginuity but hey we ride HDs were used to pulling rabbits out of our a$$es to make it work.

I am not sure if this has been mentioned, but has anyone tried these breather bolts?

Great idea but the bolt thread length is not nearly long enough to go through the backing plates and into the heads. If they did, I would jump on it and give it a try.

Before I pull the motor apart, I'll try the copper tubing set-up......Now if it was winter time, that might make a slight difference on pulling parts off of the motor....

Under the top rocker cover on the rocker arm support plate....
Here's some pics of it being done...to go one step further would be to remove the rocker support plate and enlarge the drain back holes to 1/8"....but guys have noted an improvement just doing the breather upgrade
