Default Screaming Eagle breather kit

Hello,
I bought a Screaming Eagle breather kit for my 2006 FLHT/I today and I'm looking for any tips on the install.
Thanks,
capt42a

It's pretty easy. Unbolt the old, bolt on the new. One thing I would sugest is getting a filter for the breathers on the heads. If you have them (the rubber hoses) plugged into the back of the unit sometimes you can get oil blowby and it"ll leak all over the right side of your bike. Good luck

When the SE filter gets dirty[X(], toss it & replace with a K&N, HD-0800!

Be sure to use LocTite and a torquewrench on the banjo bolts going into the side of the heads. If they vibrate loose, it is a fine black mist of oil all down the side on the bike.

Don't ask me how I know.

Your dealer has, or should have, a filter that you run the hoses into. About $18.00. Or, you can check JP Cycles or Denis Kirk. They both have kits for the breathers.
