Default New external breather setup

2015 Dyna Wide Glide. I have the Arlen Ness Big Sucker filter. I was having problems figuring out how to run an external breather. Well, this is what i came up with.
2- Brass NPT Fittings 3/8" Barbed
1- Brass NPT Fitting "T"
1- foot of 3/8" Rubber Fuel Hose
1- small, round filter. (Autozone carries these)
* use a 1/4" Tap that you can buy at Lowes, it comes with the correct drill bit also.
Drill through the hollow vent, mounting bracket. Then "Tap" the hole and thread the NPT fitting in till its flush with the inside portion of the vent mounting bracket. (That allows the oil to drain down and out)
* Cut the 1 foot of rubber hose in half and slide it over each of the now barbed ends sticking out.
* Cut hose as needed on both sides until (when the Brass "T" is installed, it is centered between the 2 Jugs.
* Now slip on the small round filter and your finished.
..Total cost for everything was about $20.00

Im going to eventually cover the rubber hoses with black braid.

Brass NPT Fittings. No clamps needed to hold the hoses on.

Finished project looks great!

Very similiar to mine, keeps it simple and it works that's for sure. I keep an eye on the filter for a little discoloration, as it gets a little darker I just take it off and spray it clean with like carb or brake cleaner and put it back on.

What did you use to plug up the vents to the throttle body?
