TAKE NOTE!!! I only had the DK customs catch can on the bike for 1500kms. In that time 1/4 of the can filled up with an oily condensation. The thread inside the catch can which holds the filter element started to rust and deteriorate badly. I Would not recommend a catch can as it can also pressurise due to the breather holes being extremely small. If you do an external breather mod I'd definantly recommend going with a pod filter instead 👍

I installed one right before a week long trip over 1300 miles on my 114 street bob and when I got home it had just a little bit of oily water mix in the bottom and the treaded piece in the middle was covered in rust. I ended just venting it to the ground because honestly it’s mostly just condensation coming out of it.

Think you should consider o2 sensor removal next, look deep into the subject and eventually you will learn those O2 sensors are not there to adjust the mixture for optimal running. They are there to weaken the mixture for emissions, potentially forcing your motor too run hotter. Good for emissions not good for your bike!

No sir. That amount of hot oily air coming from the breather bolts and into the intake was that miniscule that it doesn't affect the air fuel ratio however over time that oily mist will cause carbon build up on top of the pistons as its going into the combustion chamber.

I used some small aluminium tube I had 👍 although I wouldn't recommend a catch can. This one rusted badly on the inside after only 1500kms also I believe the catch can would pressurise as it only has tiny vent holes at the top. This could in turn have a negative effect on the head breather bolts. I'd recommend using a pod filter over a catch can 👍

Why did You change filter To the catch can? Didn’t You Just install the filter?
@TheGingybeardMan
@TheGingybeardMan 4 жыл бұрын
The filter was always going to be temporary until I could get the bracket to mount my catch can as stated in my last vid. I'd prefer to catch the blow by oil in a can than drop it onto the road when the filter fills up.

No sir, this is only a breather mod which doesn't affect HP. Essentially just diverting oil from your intake into a catch can. I wouldn't recommend a catch can though. If use a pod filter as it will breath easier.

There's 4 ways to divert the oil from the heads. 1- feed oil back into the intake (the factory harley way) 2 - allow oil to drop onto the ground (not a great idea) 3 - run oil to a filter (which will require cleaning as when its full the oil will also drop onto the ground) 4 - or the most sensible way In my opinion is to catch the oil in a catch can.
