Just a few small updates, modified my VO2 intake to let the heads breathe externally. Don't really like the filter I ordered may send it back and order a different one thinking about routing it down under the bike somewhere too, although it's not in plain sight really now as it is. Also made my belt guard into a license plate holder (got the idea from the "under $50" thread) with the led bolts, turned out great.

Looks great!

I'm going to do the same basically with my breathers. I want it invisible as much as possible so will do a little filter behind the A/C like you have and put on a new filter as necessary, even if it's twice a year, who cares!

Zip-Zang bam, new filters aren't that expensive and then you don't have no drip from hoses, no cans, no hoses routed around.

I'm missing something here. Why do you want to remove the ground from the receptacle?

Taking them apart for powder coat. There's no way to take the other end apart it's permanently attached to the controls.

I have an 09 bob, different set up. Does the manual give instructions for disassembly? Otherwise you can just cut and splice.

Agreed. Best money you will ever spend for your ride. Bikes looking good. Im thinking about doing the same engine breather as well. Im just not sure if I want to keep it behind the AF or use braided steel line to route it somewhere else...

I'm still thinking about routing it down underneath the bike somewhere too I'll try this for now though. The only reason I didn't do it is cause I couldn't find any black hose the same size that comes with the VO2. I'm sure if I tried hard enough I could find some though. Thanks too by the way, I can't wait to get it all done and back together.
