Default Arlen Ness Inverted Super Sucker Blow By

Since installing the Arlen Ness Inverted Super Sucker I have had oil blow by issues, i.e. oil on my saddle bag. Since installing the S&S475 (which I love) cam the problem has only seemed to worsen. I spoke with DK and they do not make a bypass kit. Does anyone know of a company that does or has anyone fixed this issue? I am growing weary of cleaning oil off my entire right side after every 100 mile ride.

All his Permatex is pointless, there's no pressure there. The oil and pressure is in the breather bolt.

Try running your hot oil level at half on the stick. I’ve been doing that for years and all that comes out my breather filter is water vapor boiling out of the oil.
