Was wondering if anyone has seen replacement badging for this air cleaner? The eagle is OK but I'ld rather have "103" or "FLHX" on it.

 

Do u get any oil blowing out of the ventilator , I know it's a little off topic

 

Not yet.

I've heard that usually happends from too much oil in the primary. I've read on the forum that most use 3.5 qts vs the 4 that harley states.

I don't think that's an issue because all the old oil is never drained completely from the system anyway and it's standard practice to check your oil level.

 

I actually like the Eagle on mine, and doubt I will change it, but was also wondering why HD makes a 110 badge, but not a 103. Especially when so many people are feigning for the 103 primary covers.

 

I have oil blowing on mine. Only have about 600 miles on her. I noticed it when I replaced the filter to a K&N Filter. Kinda sucks that you pay 24,000 for a bike and it leaks oil.

 

It would be nice to have a few choices. I have the Dark demon style primary/timer covers and it would be neat to have that version for the a/c cover...

 

DC1057, that's the engine oil level that's 3.5 qts. Not the primary. Primary takes 38ozs.
My FLHTK 103 only spits up very little oil into my ventilator A/C and what oil she does spit up appears to be related to how fast I ride her.
I will be rigging up a hose evenyually to vent the oil mist to the ground.

 

I asked the same question about a replacement badge for the ventillator a few months ago. I still haven't found anything aftermarket. I have the 96 inch engine and have no plans to go bigger, so H-D currently has no options either. I'm still looking but it seems I may have to get creative.

I've had the ventillator on my 09 SG for 15K miles. I switched to the K&N filter about 2K miles ago. I have never had any problem with it blowing oil, so that's a mystery to me. Sounds like a symptom of something with the engine, not the air cleaner.

 

Slightly off topic: I tried the K&N Filter for my Ventilator and it wouldn't fit inside the cover. They're now on back order and have been waiting a month or more to get another one to try. It is the correct filter per K&N. I sure hope it fits when it comes in.

I stand corrected!

I've heard on this forum that slight oil misting will occur. I believe there are vent tubes that are attached to the a/c backing plate. The hotter the oil the thinner it gets and you have misting.

A few drips, no big deal. When it spews and gets on your jeans, side covers and hardbags it's an issue. Like I stated before, I think it's because the oil level is high.

I had this problem after my 20,000 mile service on my last bike. It had the SE a/c kit and did it. When I did the next oil change the issue was pretty much gone.

If I was to guess, I bet the dealers give oil changes to the grunts. They just drain, add 4 quarts and are done with it.

Just my assumptions.
