Default Forcewinder XR install?

Ok first off Im new, so Hi to everyone, second I have a 2005 night train EFI and recently bought a Forcewinder XR and I am trying to install the only thing is that I dont fully get the install. I have 2 breather screws in the motor but all that was provided was rubber tubing, breather filter that only has a connector on one side and some zip ties. No instructions and no one from forcewinder has returned my email. SO does anyone have any pics of there install or can anyone talk me through. It should be a direct bolt on and then run the tube between the two breather screws and then connect the breather filter somewhere in the middle. Maybe Im missing something. Should I leave the back plate from the old filter on? Thanks
Sully

the kit doesnt come with the breathers you see nomally the best thing to do is go to the shop and get the DRAG specialties breather kit and install before you go anyfather other than that its an easy instalation you can call force. they were veryhelpful over the phone. you can see mine in my gallery. I kinda peice my breather together out of parts in my garage, Gas line double inlet filter and some different breathers a freind of mine had that he change out and put some fancy ones on

Thanks got ahold of the company today and they told me I need another $160 dollars worth of crap to make it work, so I hit up ebay and got it for $50. Im still pissed I was told it was a direct bolt on.
