Default DK Customs - thumbs up
Super helpful people. Got my new system rigged up. Didn't route the breather system in any beautiful manner, but it works.

I put mine in the same place but later moved it under the frame. I was still getting oil dripping on the timing cover.

I had emailed them in the past and was told the external breather was recommended over the breather bolts on the big twin.

Exactly what I was thinking might happen.

The new "Stage 3 " breather bolts have filters in them. I never had any oil issues out of the stock external system I made up. If you have excessive drainage they will prolly be more trouble than they are worth.
They showed up today and appear well designed, although they are definitely another maintenance item.
