Default rocker heavy breather prob

have a heavy breather that oil is blowing out the mounting bracket bolts. Seems to do it when in 5th or 6th gear not really sure. took it to the dealer for the 1000 mile check up and they said there is a hole in the top of the bracket that alows pressure i guess to be relived
any body else having this problem

I have a 2007 Night Train with Heavy Breather, NO OIL leaks, I installed mine myself and followed HD'S instuctions. If your dealer installed they quite possibly screwed it up .Suggest re install following instructions (I know real men don't follow insructions) Should not be leakeng oil if properly fitted!

Agreed, my big sucker s2 doesnt do that and uses the same mounting design as the heavy breather. Reinstall it.

Did you install the O rings at the back of the unit on each head? Practically impossible for this thing to leak otherwise.
