I wanted a similar look and went with the big sucker derby version and used the HD motor co derby cover.

I do have a Stage 1 intake on it now.

No, absolutely not. If you already have a stage 1 breather and your bike is programmed for that then your dealer is feeding you a line of bs.

Any other open breather will work performance-wise the same as what you have now...Once you've opened up the breather to allow for more air, then there is no advantage performance-wise between one setup over another...it's all a matter of looks. Our engines can only suck in so much air & any stage 1 or open breather setup provides plenty of air to the engine for just about any setup or mods you have done.

Only reason I am changing my breather is for looks....just want to get rid of the factory cover & be able to change covers if I choose.

Overview of how the Outlaw Breather Bolts work-

The Outlaw breather bolts are machined with a small hole and then a larger hole (the larger hole acts as a reservoir) then there is a fine mesh screen and then some foam filter media and another fine mesh screen.

The hot oily air hits the first fine mesh screen and breaks up the oil, then it hits the foam filter. The air passes thru and most of the oil gets absorbed by the filter, then drops down to the little reservoir and goes back into the head. The oil that makes it thru the filter hits the outer fine mesh and is broken up into a very fine mist.

Every time you put the bike on it's kickstand gravity will drop the oil out of the filter and back into the engine.

When you run hard for long periods of time in warm weather, there may be a slight misting onto the back of the air cleaner plate, but not enough for it to drip or run.

It is recommended to clean the filter media in the breather bolts every 10,000 miles, or more often in extremely dusty conditions.

Also, the motor doesnt start to feel more tired after its been running a while. It allows the intake to only suck cold clean air which is better for power and engine life. I rarely get any misting, but when I do its very light, and under the gas tank, very easy to wipe off while I fill up at the gas station.
They look great too!

Nope, it's not just in your head. Engines like cool dry air, and there is a significant increase in power when you stop running that hot oily air into the intake. See Dyno chart below.

Below is a video with more info on the Outlaw 587 Hi-Flow Air Cleaners. You can also click HERE for more info and to see all the different cover options, including several different bobber style covers.

K&N round with a HD #1 Skull cover, easy to clean and re-charge also put on a $15 rain sock when touring. If you search intake covers in the under $50 mods you will see people have taken the stock covers and cut them to size for the "old school" look...
