The only trouble I have had has been with the use of non Harley after market parts.

there is **** on the Heavy b reather intake...Smooth as my azz and the inner collar is silicone so it is kinda a slippery connection. It only has to move about 3/4 of an inct to fall off. Maybe I'm missing something.

I have seen this happen before --- I have one on my bike and I check it all the time.

My choice was the heavy breather or the Arlen Ness which broke off -- I chose the heavy breather

Sounds like that hose clamp needs to be super-tight, and checked often.
