Default Fueling venting dipstick?
Is this only a hopefully solution to stage 3&4 m8s or should I get this for my 2018 stage 1 107

I've got the stage 3 on my 2017 RoadGlide Special and so far no issues of sumping. Heres the link to the vented dipstick from Feuling...

Aint cheap... Call me ignorant, but I can't figure out how this would relieve excessive case pressure.

$279.00, I have a 2017 road king with stage 3 and no problems so far. Gets really hot sometimes but dealer says that's normal. 15000 miles and runs pretty good.

I am glad to see a few positive m8 experiences
I just purchased a 18 rg special and really didn’t research the m8 until after purchase and now I am paranoid

I have a Stage 4 and no issues so far. I will save my money and see what, if anything, positive comes from the install of these.

I don't get it. Don't we have an existing breather system, coming out of the heads into the air cleaner? Is this suggesting that the existing system is inadequate to support some bikes with excessive blow-by?

Yes. I’ve heard from several mechanics/builders that the stock breathers are complete junk
