Help with filter
Below my right side passenger peg on my 2001 FXDWG is this filter. I'm thinking its a breather of some sort. The hose it connects to runs up under the tank to either the rocker boxes, carb, or gas tank. I can trace it past the rear rocker, but lose it there, as I haven't removed the tank.
So the filter unit broke off. It seems there should be a flange the hose attaches to the has come off. Part of this broken flange is still in the hose, held in with a hose clamp.
So, what's it called? I need to get a replacement. It's pretty oily, that's why a breather came to mind....

Here is how the breather is routed on my Softail, those are the crankcase and transmission breather hoses. A filter on the end serves no purpose other than to get nasty looking.
