looks good man, will the swing arm hit it under full compression?

Thanks! No it's tucked up there pretty tight...lots of "hopping-up-and-down-sitting-on-my-bike" testing confirmed this

Where you at in Washington? You should come to the BOAR (Buell Owners and Riders) group at Downtown Harley in Renton if you're in the area. Next one is Saturday 1/16/10 at 11:00AM.

did u use the kit from ASB, or did u just buy parts yerself and do it
how hard was it? how much of a mechanic are you? lol
and how long did it take?
i need to do this, so im nosey

I bought the parts myself which ran me about $20. This mod is not hard to do at all and it took me about half an hour. I worked as a mechanic for years but anyone with time and patience can do this. I did this same type of breather mod to my 2003 Harley. I'm a stickler for trying to keep everything looking like stock so some extra things I did was:

-Use the stock breather hose sleeve and cut it to fit. I singed the ends to keep them from fraying.

-Route the breather to near the left heel protector. I took the pics as soon as I got the breather to the area I wanted but it's now tucked high and away from the swingarm. At full compression, there is about 1 inch from the swingarm and the breather.

-The breather I bought was originally chrome on the ends, so I painted them flat black to match the rest of my bike. The blue/black filter combo matches great.

-The drain hose follows the existing drain hose that is behind the primary. I terminated the breather drain hose about an inch from the bottom of that existing line and plugged it.

-Zip tie everything to keep everything neat, tidy, and secure!!

Hope this helps!! Gotta love this site!!

Ride safe...
