I also personally dont see the difference in venting between the two. Some people put filters on the ends but how much chance is there something would get sucked into the engine thru the breather tube? Especially on the top breathers with the umbrella valve. Not enough chance for me to put a filter or catch can over the end of it. A drip or two each ride on my garage floor reminds me of its unique character.
Mine comes out and dips dwn, I have a Briggs and Stratton foam air filter I cut in half and wrapped around it .
Being squeezed between the engine and the trans it goes nowhere.
I wash it once a season and to date, it has never dropped a drip of oil AFAIK.
Route the crankcase breather hose and transmission vent hose to the right side, tuck the ends of the hoses between the frame and the exhaust system support. No catch can, no filter.
This has worked for me on this bike (89 Softail) for 30 years.

There are a ton of options for an External Breather System (EBS) for the Evo's. They can be seen HERE.
I as goin nuts trying to gather the parts I needed for mine. Then decided to just get them from you instead.
Save me time and to be honest, didn’t cost me that much more with your kit. Second breather kit I irdered through DK.
No point in wastin time oiecing one together your self.

DK pretty much did the shopping around for me. And didn’t gauge me when they offered their kit
Plus, I don’t trust my self or my familiarity with all that needed. And saved me from loosing money too.
Why it pays to know good vendors

When I did my breather system it cost me one trip to the auto parts store and about $20.
Then again I don't run a filter nor do I see a need for one.
