Thank you for the question! I am one of those that keep the tubes going back into the intake. I’ve talked to too many old timers and long-term mechanics that say not to use a catch system. That’s just how I run it. However, this is made to continue to use those. One thing that the video doesn’t tell that I have come to find out is that I will no longer recommend this breather for a bagger. On my fat Bob, that did not have bags, there was no problem. But on my road king, the air entering the center of the cone shape sometimes pushes the k&n oil out the sidewall and it splatter on my right bag. This probably explains why the new CVO have the sealed cone variant
So funny!!! Other videos I have seen people are taking the heavy breathers off and going back to step number 2 because of problems with riding with the heavy breathers and hitting the right knee.
I have a 30 inch inseam and I have no problem with the breather tube hitting my leg. When I had the same breather on my 2020 fat Bob, I did get it pressing into my leg on that bike. I am definitely considering going back to my old breather, however, because I have found that the air entering the center of the cone is blowing the k&n oil out the sides, and this is coating my right side saddlebag.
As long as you’re still stage, one, exhaust and air breather upgrade, you should be fine without a tune. If you are stage, two, three, four or already had a tune you will need to retune it.
I am actually changing it back to the one I had previously. I have found that the wind going down the center cone is actually blowing the k&n oil out the sides and coating the rear bag.
I carry a rain sock for it in my saddle bag and I haven’t used it in four years
Thank you for commenting!
Do you know the Part No for a replacement filter?
Thanks
No, I do not. I’m sorry. You can call any of the Harley dealerships and they will give it to you.
Do the new bolts the go into the heads still vent back into the intake or does this block them off?

Did you have the part 2? Where you tune it
Check out my most recent video with the title “ why am I changing my air breather again?”
@@simplybeingshipley Thank you!!
Odd, I have the exact same bike with the extreme heavy breather.
Awesome. Have you tuned it and what did you use? I am thinking to use the FP4
If i get that air breather do i gota re-tune my bike

Personally, I would not like its looks on the bike.... it disturbs the well balanced, cosmetically perfect design of it.
