Phil,
The Doherty Myst-Free setup is nice.
However, I don't think they do what Doherty claims they'll do.
I have them in my '06 SG and the "minimal to no myst" claim hasn't happened as of yet.
Maybe my Feuling Race Pump is pumping oil faster than the breathers can work...I don't know.
I've aligned and un-aligned my pump several times...also a good friend that's a 20+ year wrench has aligned and un-aligned it a couple times.
It can't be the pump.
I thought you had TP rocker boxes?
If so, did their mist reduction work?
Also, did you sell them if in fact you did have a set?
I might add, my Feuling Cam Plate & Oil Pump was sent back to Feuling to check.
Can Plate flowed properly, Oil Pump was OK, even though they did install new gerotors.
I used an air hose to blow out all drain passages.
Bottom line, my motor is going to mist, I guess.

Man, those roller rocker arms look very nice, as does the Doherty breather plates. I used the TP roller rockers with the SE rocker support plates and together it was a very tight fit...very little lateral play (and way better than stock parts). Your setup looks to be very tight as well. With those rocker arms, support plates and TMAN's heads, your geometry is going to be perfect. Great pictures with nice pointers. I'm anxious to see more...can't you work a little faster!?

I did have TP boxes on my 120, they did not mist at all, and I sold them.
One thing worth noting, I never plumb the crankcase breathers into the intake, but instead into a catch can.

On my Ultra I have the Doherty PowerPACC with Powervents which feed into that stainless steel collector tucked behind the air cleaner. I didn't want to run it to the ground just because I didn't want oil in front on my rear tire. So, I have seen pictures where you run a black hose from the Powervents (well from a T) to the back of the motor and I assumed it went to the ground. A catch can is a good idea. I'm going to see how much mist I get before I do anymore with it.

After I was happy with everything, I had it powder coated & mounted it with Jagg oil cooler hangers, & connected it via AN fittings...

+1 on the catch can, I use a frame mounted billet aluminum "Puke Can" from Wimmer.
C'mon Phil, fire that beat up already....

So why did you sell the TP's? Was there some concern using them on this new build?
