S/e heavy breather
My bike came with it, and I love it.
But no, it does not eliminate the oil problem from the crankcase breathers....it just makes it puddle up at the bottom of where the elbow attaches to the intake plate. I've taken it off twice already and cleaned the oil out.
Yes it has the large backplate covering the throttle body and electronic motor thing, but it doesn't look bad at all.
Crappy picture but is only close-up of the intake I have at the moment:
My one and only complaint is that I sometimes hit my shin on the elbow when going for the brake pedal.

Yes, the touring models use the large black back plate and I think it looks like crap! I still get oil spitting out, but only if I'm really pushing it hard. I love the looks, and get lots of compliments. My buddy told me last night I should take the black back plate off and have it powdercoated gloss black (instead of wrinkle black) to match my paint since you see it so much.

I had one on my Rocker. They are cool and give you more horsepower and torque, but mine leaked oil from the back where it attaches to the intake. Besides everyone and their brother has one on their bike, to many breathers out there for me to go back to the se.
