I went to a bbq put on by a harley dealer 30 miles south of me, had your choice of chicken or steak sandwich and I chose steak, they also had a pea salad which was pretty good, drink choice was water, lemonade or tea.
I would imagine around 100 + bikers there, good turn out and food was good, they do this every 3rd weekend of the month thru the summer months. I was walking around and looking at bikes and trikes from old to fairly new, I only seen 2 that had external breather on them. I did see my 2002 road king while I was there and got to talk to the owner, he is very happy with it, I'm glad he is, it is a bike I should have kept, oh well. I did ask him if was interested in a hitch for it since I have one that was on the bike, he said no, dang, was hoping I could get rid of it plus I have another hitch that was on my 1997 FXSTC.
Ok question, out of those bikes only 2 had external breathers on them, does that mean most don't care about external breathers, I know my mechanic said put one on if it is a spitter otherwise you don't need it. I have checked my air cleaner 2 times so far this year and throttle body is pretty dry. I have most of the stuff for a external breather, got another back plate to drill, have the hose plus a filter, just need to buy the other hardware that goes with it from my local hardware store or the big box store.
Give me your thoughts on external breather, I know some have it and I would guess some don't, wish their was a poll on here to find out. I know DK sells them plus their are other outfits selling them also, now they a transmission top cover to help vent, pretty pricey also. If it isn't one thing its another.
