Harley for the pre-bent tube. Not sure why they do not use a spring cap but some implied it was internal? Remember it vents primary also.

Just a chunk of hose will do the job.

My 04 is just like picture to right. Just an inverted formed hose. At minimum you do need the inverted formed hose. That is why I would bite the bullet and get it at Harley. The spring vent valve I show is what is on your typical car/truck manual transmission or differential. My 4x4 has them with a tube attached to that and extended up about 2 feet. It allows vent out but in theory at least prevents water entry and small critters?. HA

You might put a clamp on the new hose. Now that this has happened to you, I'll check mine and clamp it before it falls off.

Never had a problem with the vent tube hose on my 09.
