10 mile ride....

"Every picture tells a story don't it" lalalala.....

Good thing I had my goodie bag in the saddlebags.. I took that screw out put a new one in and cleaned everything up.. By the time I got back home everything was dry... We'll see what it's like after sitting a while...

Interesting. Guess you'll need to install a "catch can" on that now.

Hmmm, all i can say is it worked for me, but i didnt think i had a presure problem in the first place. i just did it for insurance. i know the littit hole on the Baker trans hat was also clear and i only fill the primary till it comes up to the ring gear teeth.

So I did a little more investigating today and found that it's not an issue with venting the primary... That's all good.. what I did find was, my motor with S&S cases has a bottom breather as well as a top breather system. So I decided to utilize them both . Can't hurt right??? Guess again... Gonna plug it off and just use the head breathers..DOH!!!!!!! NO MORE PROBLEMS.. although originally the trans vent was plugged i just went s little too far again... DOH!!!!! All done till next issue....

Always nice to figure out a problem and have it work in your favor.
