Well done with engine--sounds to me like you went most cost effective, best bang for the buck route.

Got the bike basically all back together except for fluids and the air cleaner. Air cleaner is giving me some issues. Have wanted to change it out since I bought the bike and now is as good a time as any. Went with the Big Sucker Derby. As you can see in the pic there is a gap between the head and the backing plate. Instructions say the 'Injection Module Bracket" must be used, presumably as a spacer. My bike did not come with said spacer. I realize I could buy the bracket but does anyone have any other ideas of what I could use?

Just go to the hardware store and get a spacer or stack washers to fill the gap.

Better yet go to DK customs and look at a bypass kit. You could buy one from them or make your own. I am and many other are big believers about feeding burnt oil crap back into your intake.

I use the catch can, works pretty good I clean it out once a month or after a long ride .....like over 500 miles.

How is a by-pass kit gonna solve his gap problem? I have Dk's kit, but I just route the tube under the frame, no catch can.

Go to the dealer and buy an injection module bracket. You will probably have to order it but I bet it's not expensive.

The banjo fiting would take up the gap if you got the kit with the catch can.
