I had trouble figuring then breather mount just looking at pictures & text, so I took it apart. A five minute job, but you want to have some locktite on hand.

Here are some measurements I took, from the inside out:

Throttle body inlet is 1.75" = 2.40 SqIn

stock filter is 1" x 24" = 24.00 SqIn (the filter area only)

stock breather inlet is 1.4" x 2.3" = 3.22 SqIn

Here's another way to go, fyi:

I like the look of the stock cover, will do something like the 48 blog.

I still don't see the reason for the black plastic backing before you put the filter on. Looks good though!

From what I can tell, the two bigger bolts and the 3 smaller bolts help hold the carb in place. You would need something to mount the filter to the carb. Using the back plate is the easiest to do, especially when you're limited in tools.
