+1 it moves more air I've been told.

Reason enough for me. It apparently moves more air than most.

It is a bit of a statement too..

What are people doing for the oil blow by on these. I want this one as well but want to set something up where there is no oil blow by.

The Ventilator will move all the air a 110/107/106/103/96" can move. 117"/larger and bikes with larger TB may want to look at a heavy breather. Their's a dyno/flow sheet somewhere here with a Ventilator/HB comparo on a 117" and the cfm flow difference was very minor...

I run my oil level at about the 2/3 full mark and have no issues. When it was at the full mark I had some minor blow by to the filter...
