Default RE: Crankcase breather

I used to get it with an 02 NT, but only when riding it hard. I had a motor job and haven't had this since....the air cleaner is still the same, SE high flow. All my buddies softails have the same problem, so they added an in line filter with each vent tube running to the filter(open style) and have had so success.
