Well I've gotten a little confused on this topic! I would like an air filter that fits under a stock cover, doesn't run crank case pressure back through it, can feed @ 110" stroker motor & is made in the USA! So what am I looking for?
Thanks
Troy

I respectfully disagree.
Besides not causing potential issues down the road by routing the oily air into the combustion chamber to cause carbon build up...
When you vent to the atmosphere typical max HP Increase is 5-8%, and typical Torque is Increased 4-6% in the 2000-4500 RPM range.
Most will notice this much of an increase in power in the RPM's that most riding is done in.

I have a stock 103 except for SE Nightsticks and XIED's. I will most likely swap my stock head pipe for a decatted head pipe to shed some heat. After the head pipe change, the nightsticks may or may not stay.
I am looking at a stage 1 breather. Very close to pulling the trigger on an SE on eBay.
I don't like venting blow-by back thru the engine and like that your system doesn't do that but...where does it vent it to. If it just blows it "out", where is out going, it has to go somewhere. Does it just mist and get all over the bike?
As bad as I hate running it back thru the engine, the thought of oily mist on me and the bike is worse.
Educate the un-informed on this.
Kevin, need some help on this.

See the link below for the options that are part of the Outlaw 587 A/C systems-
http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/All-...ngines_c76.htm
95% of our Customers do not have an issue with misting from the Breather bolts. About 5% of our Customers do have an issue with excessive carry-over. Almost all of them have resolved it by following the instructions for oil in the HD manual.
There are a variety of reasons a bike will have excessive oil carry-over (commonly referred to as blow-by).
There is a complete list at this link-
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/oil-r...f-my-bike.html
The most common reasons are incorrect oil viscosity for the ambient temps being ridden in, and oil level higher than it needs to be.
If you run your bike hard with the breather bolts, there is always going to be a mist/film build-up on the back of the filter backplate, but it should never be so much that it drips or gets on the rest of the bike.
If you are concerned about being in the 5%, then the option to go with the hose & filter is best.

If you just put the steel football cover over it it will.
