here's the rest of the information that goes with the pics above from a previous post of mine for you guys that want to do this. it really is easy to do.

SE Ventilator cause I like the way it looks and I already have it installed. With the K&N filter, flows 287CFM which is fine for the heads I have which flow 252CFM
(2) Dorman 785-410 1/8" MNPT - 1/4" hose fitting (advanced auto)
(10') 1/4" vacuum line (advanced auto) yep plenty left over.
(1) 1/4" vacuum hose "T" (advanced auto)
(1) 1/4" to 3/8" vacuum hose adapter (advanced auto)
(1) Spectre 3991 Breather Filter (advanced auto) http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/s...m=spectre+3991

total - $15.49

took the backplate and drilled 25/64" holes in it
Then I used a tap, M10x1.25 to thread the holes
Then I cleaned the breather holes and oil drain holes thoroughly with brake cleaner
Then I siliconed the oil drain holes that go back into air intake (yep that was the only color hi-temp/oil resistant silicone I had on hand.
Then I screwed in the fittings, attached hoses, attached clamps, inserted "T" in proper location, ran the hose inside the front pushrod tubes, and located the filter just behind my oil cooler and fastened in place with a zip tie. The "wetness" you see in that last pic is from my cam change a couple of days prior to this mod.
all said and done, $16 in parts and about 45 minutes of my time that will prolong the life of my motor.

You can see them all HERE
Kevin can you clarify which air cleaner has the external breather for the 2014
Ultra Limited? Also which breather kit would work best with stock air cleaner?
Thanks

I've been wanting to do this mod to my Ventilator for a while now. Thanks for posting this Ultra, looks great. I'm going this route with mine.

I used JB weld to fill the tubes going to the A/C first because the holes I drilled and tapped were going to intersect them,Then used JB to permanently seal the fittings,Then used a round file to clean up the inside bolt holes.

All the 587's at this LINK and all the 636v's at this LINK will fit your 2014 Ultra Limited and they all have your choice of External Breathers as part of the Kit.

The Discrete Head Breather System at this LINK will fit.
