I have a kuryakin A/C that had a leak with the breather bolts. I used some liquid teflon around the bolt threads...no more leak.

Man don't get me lying to you. I put it on last year when I did the 107 build.
I was a little shocked when I ordered the billet polished and it came in black! I called and that's when they told me ," oh yeah you can't get that one this is the only one now."
Not a big problem as you can't see it anyway, but yes it does have the vent tubes.

If the O ring doesn't seal prpperly...make a gasket out of gasket material and use it instead, then you wont have to torque it so tight.

Hmm, I'm running a Ness Big Sucker with no weeping, no oil, no cracks, etc. Maybe I'm just lucky, but my setup looks great and has no issues.

I have had two different ones break. One on my 04 Sporty. Got it replaced under warranty. That was a billet one. One on my 08 SG. Regular version and it cracked on the first install with minimal torque. Sent it back for a refund. Never again.
