Fueling venting dipstick?
#101
I did watch them. Very short and while they would seem to indicate they would help, it would be good to hear some first-hand experience. For example if the cure for sumping was as "simple" as venting the pan through the filler tube I think HD would have moved toward that rather than 3 years of trial and error with oil pumps.
On my roadie I have done both venting types. AC and dipstick. 13K miles, stage III, no sumping.
On batfoy, I have only vented the AC. Would like to vent dipstick eventually.

Unless $$$ is no object then you can get one here.

Vent
Thanks Jake. Three things I'm curious about, first is whether or not this reduces the oil being pushed into the hose to the point that it would not build up in the hose. Second is the epoxy used to reseal the dipstick cap to the dipstick. If that failed you could end up with the dipstick in the pan, as well as a whole bunch of oil escaping. And third is whether you've seen a big reduction in the amount of oil going through the factory breathers and into the air filter/intake.

That’s why I only have it for my roadie.

The A1 video with the Fat Boy seemed to intimate that they would be selling their kit for the M8 Softails, but they're not to be found on their site.

Let see.. If you add a vent at the oil tank will less air flow out of the heads?? Need Jeopardy music..

Yes, the day i installed the air cleaner I drilled and tapped it to make way for the hose barbs, Plugged the breather holes in the filter housing with hi-temp rtv.
