The preformed hose is the factory piece. It connects to the plastic T and then routes into the back of the filter. I just pulled it out of the filter and turned it 90 degrees. I went to O'Reilly auto parts store and bought 7/32 tubing, it's windshield washer tubing, it came in a package and there was about 6ft in the package. I also bought a 7/32 tubing splice. It came in a package of several sizes. Total was $10 or less.

you can see the preformed hose and the white splice in this picture

easy enough to check every 5K when cleaning the filter. Cheap enough to replace also

Where is it venting to? I would like to see it go outside the airbox completely, as to not dirty the filter and still end up in my combustion mixture. The small catch cans seem to small and the one I got on Ebay looks to be the right size; however, I can't find a good place to install it.

Not going all black but a few parts here and there mixed with some carbon fiber. I got this back today. Once I put it on I will know if the '19 clutch spring damper makes a difference in the engagement of the clutch.

Default Started tearing down for my 124 build.


Got the rockers off. That was not a fun job. Those back 2 under the seat are a challenge. Tomorrow I'll take get the primary cover, tranny side and cam cover off so I can get them to the powder coater.

Still waiting on my radio replacement. Checked on the bike Saturday after being in the shop for 2 weeks and learn the new radio Harley sent was also defective in some way ( some feature didn't work) so now another had to be ordered. At least I'm not missing out on riding due to weather and a health issue at the moment.
