I'm calling bull$hit on the gearset, we arn't as dumb as you think we are that we think we are......... heard this line in a movie somewhere.
HAHAHA! I knew I couldn't fool you guys!

Thanks for the air cleaner links. I really want to vent the crank case outside of the engine. The carbon build up on the pistons and valves was TERRIBLE on Bertha.

Not going to sugar cote this, Bertha was choking on her own crap, she will give back more pleasure than a treehugger, let Bertha breath!

The only time I will support tree hugging is when the wind starts blowing hard and my deer hunting treestand starts swaying.

By "let Bertha breath" I assume you mean, get rid of the breather that vents back into the AC........

I'm getting tired of looking for the exact setup that I want, so, I'm going to take a look at modifying the one I have somehow.

Stay tuned for ANOTHER Bertha saga..........

You got it, run a hose under the bike, filters last longer, engine is cleaner. With your new piston/rings, blow by will be at a minimal for exiting to the atmosphere so let her breath fresh air.

Saga 2, let us get our laptop batteries charged up!
