After months debating how to modified the ventilation system on my bike so that clean air would be the main source of air coming through the in-take I decided on this system by using the stock breather bolts and a few other parts.
Very nice installation. Much better than all the drilling and tapping. Plus, I followed someone else's instructions and used braided lines which is way over kill.
I did this to my Heritage this past summer and I love it,when I took everything apart I looked in the throttle body for oil and other contaminants and it was dry,so for now I’m just running with the breather filter,looks good and she runs like a charm,to answer your question,just keep it the way it is
I like the open filter look better, I did basically the same as you did. I also bought a round Harley Davidson emblem that is made to go over your original air filter cover to dress it up, but I left the oval cover off and just installed the round emblem so more cool air can get to the filter.
i planning to do it the same way you do it sir, but it don´t know if it is a good idea that the filter is hanging from the oil lines. Did you had any problems with that issue?
Open air cleaner looks good but if you get caught in a rain storm , you'll wish you had the cover on it. You'll suck water right into the carb. And that's not good.
