K&N filter part # E-3200 is what I have in there. The foam sucks. Same filter I used in the filter above. I got it from Jegs. You can get em from Auto Zone or any other parts store.

The crank case breathers are integrated in the mount. I have one on my Nightster too but I powdercoated it black. They work great.

Thanks man! I hope they make a version for Sportys as well. that's exactly what I'm looking for and don't want to pay the $250 for the Joker Machine assy (even tho I know they are worth it).

They're not worth it. And you can get that breather for Sportsters. EFI & carb models are the same so the one I used will work.

Actually I found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHROM...ht_1530wt_1167

I don't know what "CV carb" is, I think I have a Keihin carb on my 02 883. I was going to keep my current bracket that looks like this http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/produc...fCatId=&mmyId= and use those bolts: http://www.lowbrowcustoms.com/index....t_detail&p=788

Any suggestion on what setup is best? I want no hose running around and something that looks sleek but that doesn't cost an arm and a leg...Sorry to hijack your thread...

Oh no prob. That first link is exactly what I have on my Nightster. It'll work for you. You have a CV carb.

I make a crank case breather that goes with the mount you have. It's flush and pretty cool looking.

Here's a pic of one. No hoses. The filter screws right in to the mount bolt.

Could you make me some? If yes, PM me with prices :-)

Would you recommend either the breather kit from eBay or using my current bracket with bolts like you make?
