Anyone running this aircleaner setup ?
I am running a DK Custom 587 aircleaner with the optional hose and filter kit. I was wondering if anyone else has this same setup and if so how is it working out for you. I was using the breather bolts previously but when running high speeds I experienced oil mist getting on my engine. After purchasing the hose and filter kit it was recommended I place the filter in an upward position. I was told if I let it hang down low I would probably get an oil drip at some point. I might mention I do run exactly 3 1/2 quarts of oil as recommended to avoid blow by.

I have the Kury Corsair set-up, I tried the provided breather filter, it made a mess too.
I ended up running a line under the tank, behind the frame plate and the left side cover all the way down past the belt strapped to the frame.
No more mess, especially in the throttle body from all that oil coating the sensors and ports.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I am going to try running a hose to the ground as advised and see if that satisfies me. I have a couple of questions before I start. I believe what I need is 3/8 hose but not sure what length I need to buy. Someone mentioned zip tie it down and run it past the belt which sounds like a good place for it to end. I'm not sure which would work better a T fitting or a Y fitting. Can I plug the end of the hose and just drain it every so often or does it need to stay open so it can breath ? I will also but my smooth chrome bobber cover back on because it looks much nicer.
