We recently introduced the "Stealth External Breather System".

It is a modified Kury BG breather. We have them in Chrome AND Black.

I am running them on all three of my bikes, one of them for over 3k miles now, one for about 1k miles and the other for around 700 miles. They work great, and look really good. The one with over 3k miles is a spitter, big time, (has been since new) and there has been NO MIST or Mess from it. This set-up works really well.

They are on Introductory Special for a few more days.

Those look good Kevin. I also have over a thousand miles on mine with no oil any where. Mine would sling **** every where with your small screen breathers. Now I want black ones.

This is the route I chose. If the breather starts to drip too much, I can swap it out with a catch can on the fly!

Looks good man!

You will get no dripping or misting out that that.

Which one is that? It's a great idea that I might emulate :-)

DK Custom Mirror Chrome HiFlow 425 A/C w/ tri-speed fastener
and a Premium Discrete Breather System.

They have several nice looking systems. Even a brand new one. So take your time and do some investigating. Being in a rush I clicked on the wrong one but, no worries I love this one just the same. They're all good.

Now I plan to have the actual knuckles on my desk welded to my sissy bar someday.





Knuckles for sissy bar & sketch for seat.

And my leather tools actually came in yesterday. ...on a Sunday! So will be getting to actual tooling soon. Now I just need to get pegs(bronze) and A/C (black on chrome). I've also been flirting with the thought of having Hawk and Animal airbrushed on a tank. (Road Warriors) Just wishful thinking at this point. Still, over time, I plan to give my 48 a literal badass theme. Ideas and plans are rolling in, just wish the cash was too! LOL



I got these autographs back in the mid 80’s from Hawk and Animal
