It's hard to believe there are people that still don't know how to use the camera.

You can post whatever you like. It doesn't mean anything to me. I could care less for me. I only feel bad for the new people on this forum that don't know you need "thick skin" to ask a question that Thomas might respond to. Peace brother. We are all brothers. Remember that. My god.. Try this, click on your user name and hit past post. Look at your value add to this forum. You are 90% sarcastic and 10% interested. Try letting people be themselves brother. really..

Cool, it’s nice to know you could actually care less. I don’t know what I would do if you couldn’t care less. That would hit me right in the feels.

I would suggest you take your own advice. I actually weigh in on quite a few posts with personal experiences and advice on products/procedures. Search for posts made just today. My thanked count speaks for itself. Have a good’n.

I vent the breathers to under the bike no catch can ( like old car road draft tube).breather bolts drilled out much bigger than stock. Kept the throttle body and air filter nice and dry last 15 k.....( not a new problem twinks and evos did it too) Played with a PCV in exhaust that I pulled out of oil fill..not real successfully . But did as the guy building the kits and stuffed a filter under side cover......I swear the damn thing even idles better. There was pressure with my hand over fill plug at idle........so it can’t be bad to do. The MOCO can’t do it with the EPA up there azz.
pressure is lost HP....pistons go down they make compression you don’t need in crankcase...power loss. The aluminum plug kit just looks a bunch neater.......

I too am hoping that is doest create an oil slick for the rear tire though...

never had oil on a tire venting shovels,evos,twinks and now the M8......the amount of mist is so small it’s less than what’s in interstate highways that big ole Detroit’s are running on. Lol 😂

Is a filter on the end a must. Was wondering if there was a chance of dirt getting “sucked” into the oil from the 1/4” hose.
Was wondering if there is any suction going on or is it all venting pressure.

Looks very tidy, nice work!

Has anybody thought of closing the loop and routing a second line from the heads into another breather bolt in the dipstick? You'd have a breather and a place to dump mist... Dumb question??
