the picture shows the old tubes but when you go to the Guide tab and click on instructions the images and part numbers show the new ones

I have this issue with my 2017 SGS and looking for a fix, but am confused by your pictures. I've got the SE high flow air cleaner kit - wedge, bike not accessible right now to see where my tubes direct overflow to (top or bottom of butterfly).
Are you staying there are new tubes I can buy that will put them to the top of the butterfly? And if so, do you have a part number?

yes that is what I'm confirming..if you have the tubes from the lower picture you want to replace them with 29400271A and 29400272A ($18 for both) from the top picture, and they resolved the excessive dribble to AF and beyond

Why don't you all just get a DK Customs external breather kit & be don w/this mess...??

http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/all-...es-c76-180.htm

Small investment, but corrects the issue...

How would that be any fun compared to the home remedies?

What digital dipstick is this you use? I need to remove some juice from mine today, last ride had spray all over from normal level. Using DK breather bolts and put the thicker foam in and will also be adding the external breather filter soon.

It'd be nice to trust the dipstick.
