This one I added snaps to the back rest and bag so that I can take it off if needed. I had the snaps and zip ties lying around, so for $5 and maybe a half hour worth of work, probably the best mod I've done, and saved a boat load of $$$, rather than buying the same concept accessories thru the dealer.

Normal braid line is not cheap. Last crankcase kit I bought was a braided line from head to head with banjo fittings built in was about $65.00.
Here is a step by step with pics!

Local hardware store for a 3/8" braided sink hose with fitings.
I bought 30" piece since this was a trial run and not sure of length, cost was $5.74


Cut one end off between the nut and crimp so that the crimp keeps the braids together.


Measure for length. I chose to run the hose straight down to the inside of the frame and so the hose stopped just below the frame.


Tape the braided hose where your about to cut it and hacksaw it off!


I used a clamp that came with my air cleaner kit. I left the tape on and slid the hose on the clamp and attached to the vent tube.


Make sure your hose doesnt get close to the pipes or any moving parts. Secure with a zip tie if needed.


I had alot left so 30" might be a little much for my route.


Now sit back open a cold one and enjoy the $6.00 mod. I must add that it looks way better in person then the pics. Looks way better than a piece of black hose. Also, it took me longer to post this then do the job!!!Hope this saves someone some cash!

You obviously have had a bad experience, but don't tell me that my Harley shop shouldn't be patronized when I know that they do great work. Speak to your own only.
