Default crankcase breather ?

just bought a kuryakyn crankcase breather for my sportster, has anyone else installed one on their bike, it's to stop oil, from leaking from carb.

Default RE: crankcase breather ?

I installed one about a month ago and love it. It has redirected all of the oil from being splattered on the oil tank to the ground. The only problem I ran into was taking the torx screws off to take the backplate off of the carb. I stripped two of them and had to extract them with screw extracters (pain in the azz). Just be sure you use a quality torx bit and use steady pressure. You will also need to drill two holes in the backplate, which is metal, so be sure to have good drill bits for that.

Here is the link I used as reference to install mine.

Let me know if you have any questions, you're gonna love it!!

Oh, and by the way.... The same kit through Jireh Cycles was only $15.00.
