Fwb35, I've been wondering about this type of breather set up. Do you ever get oil dripping from the breather filter onto the top of your cam chest?

I did similar, but ran the hose and filter to the front, and under the bike.

It's not my dyno sheet.. My bike has never seen a tuner besides me, that's on the dk customs website
