Head Breather venting ?
I want to vent my crank case head breather better than my hose running out the back. Looking for suggestions on a better way or a kit to relieve crank pressure.

Is it going to atmosphere now? If so all you can do is try to hide the piping a little better. The best look is the steel braided lines with a filter on the end tucked up under the frame...

It's my new S&S 111. I am trying to relieve crank pressure. Thinking of 2 breathers ,one for each head.
Aces, not sure if you're looking to see it or hide it. If you're looking to hide it this is what I did. I ran the 3/8" line between the cylinders to a UP-122 Uni Breather filter. It has a zip tie loop built in. Secured it behind the horn tucked up high. You can't see it completely hidden. Used standard black 3/8" hose as I didn't want to see that either. You could hide this one anywhere it's small. I was going to put a T in the center and put a catch can or on off drain to drain any oil that gets in there but I don't think I need to so I left it.
Nope.. There is a lot of crank pressure. Had my oil cap off and cranked it and yea a lot of built up pressure that just one small hose seems to small to relieve the unneeded back pressure.
