My first question, and a pretty simple one.
I picked up a low mileage 2012 Fat Boy Lo a couple of months ago, and time to change a few things. This week was exhaust, tuner and breather.
The back of stock breather had a hole for a wire harness clip, the new breather doesn't. Right now the wires are hanging behind the new breather. I can zip tie them to something, but thought somebody here had a better idea. I'm sure anybody replacing the stock breather had the same situation.
I'd appreciate any recommendations.
You can buy harness clips in various sizes at Autozone, drill the appropriate size hole in the backing plate and have a sano install. Or, you can be lazy like me and find something to zip-tie the harness to.

Usualy the new breather will have you remove the small support bracket that that goes between the head breathers and the intake. This will free up two threadeded holes. Stick a cutoff wire tie in one with some JB Weld and use that with another tie to hold the harnes. Or yo can cut a small piece of aluminum drill 2 holes, use one with the original bolt to secrure it and wire tie to that. My breather kit came with a tie that had a plug that fit into one of the manifold holes. Like someone else said an auto supply store will probably have something if you want to look around.
I would be careful if drilling the backplate not to drill where she draws clean air from.
