sure enough the oil level was too high, it was only one dot shy of the top on the dip stick. I removed about 16 oz and that brought the level down to the mid point.

Using the Breather Bolts when venting externally looks great but with a high compression engine, using these might also result in oil down the side of your bike so you would probably want to go with one of the hose and filter style set ups.

Someone called about this and I thought I'd share it here.

The relatively new (less than 1 year old) 4 Stage Catch Can for the EBS has been proving itself to be a great solution. Even bikes that spit a lot. are having all the mess stay IN the catch can.
