Crankcase Breather
Howdy!
I want to install one of these
on Bertha, but she already has the Arlen BIG SUCKER
installed and the mounting holes would need to be ground off in order for the bypass kit to work.
Does anyone know if there's another mounting plate that will work with the BIG SUCKER so I can use the breather bypass kit?

I went through this. its why i returned the BigSucker and bought a D&M cone filter. I didnt see the point of cutting up a ~ $150 A/C.
for reference

I don't know who makes it but I have one on my bike that has a thin stamped back plate and bracket that bolts on with the vent pipe. I have a K&N air filter, so maybe they also make the back plate. The back plate does support the carb by the vent bolts.

yea, those are getting tough to find. its the factory HD carb A/C backing plate. (I was looking for one when I did my carb conversion, because I had the factory "stage 1" air cleaner already...bigger K&N filter, "dish" cover, and a rather nice chrome insert with the HD logo). I ended up running a borrowed S&S intake instead (was easily modified to plug the breather holes). I had planned on modifying the original EFI backplate, but seeing as I dont have access to a tig welder, that was also proving difficult

Good thing a sense of humor is required in the Evo section
Found a Screamin Eagle backing plate and support bracket that fits the banjo fitting crossover (Ebay), got it for $1.25 and had a SE air filter with it - win some and lose some, won that one, used the origional cover on the SE setup.
