Default Another install

When I mounted my Goodson A/C originally, I just bolted it right up to the throttle body and routed the original breather tubes into the gap at top of the A/C where the air flow enters.

I had seen a Sifton A/C mount with integral breather as seen on p. 320 of V-Twin Mfg catalog (V-Twin P/N 34-0705). I finally decided to go for it and just got it installed yesterday. I had to run over to Lowes and buy some 1/4 - 20 x 1-1/4" cap screws to complete the job today ... snapped a couple of photos.

I think it'll keep the oil out of the A/C a little better and looks much neater ... a pretty good solution as the Goodson didn't come with anything to address the breather situation.

I must be missing something... it sounds like you eliminated the crankcase breather system?
Are those cap bolts acting like hole plugs ?
If so, that's a real bad idea!

I'm betting there are internal passages in the bracket for the breathers.

So Todd, you going to be around in August for the Goldendale trip?

Rick (below quote) is correct ... the Sifton mounting system has passages from the bolts to the throttle body ....

I'm afraid I'm going to miss it Rick ... I'll be moving back East to a 'fleet concentration area' ....
