I have the Mini Teardrop intake and I did basically the same thing, except I ran the T behind the little cover plate that hangs down from the air cleaner to cover the throttle body controls, so you can't see it. I also don't run the little filter at the end, the way I see it is that all old bikes and cars used to just vent to atmosphere without a filter back in the day, so it'll work fine for me

@InfamousCreep2 жыл бұрын
Glad they're helpful! I switched over because I like how this breather looks. I've been looking for the Stinger Air Cleaner for sometime now. When I saw it was in stock, I had to get one. The bike performs better, but I could've kept the stock breather. The stock breather works just fine, I just like switching them from time to time, that's all.

I did this mod about a month ago and now I'm hearing that doing an external breather mod releases vacuum pressure inside the crank case. Supposedly it's better to vent the crank case cover instead with a one way valve so you don't loose the vacuum pressure inside. I'm not understanding how doing the external breather mod on the AC can cause vacuum pressure loss when you're just redirecting the excess blow by to another location. Just wanted to see if you researched any of this and had any thoughts on it.
@InfamousCreep2 жыл бұрын
I don't get it either, I just saw Laidlaws Performance bagger video recently, and they also have a external breather on that bike. But it looks like the vent it into the crank case cover. Wish he would address it, maybe we gotta DM him?? Doc Harley likes it, and Trask also does it for their Turbo kits. I dunno?? I'm still looking into it.
@chuckdchuck2 жыл бұрын
@@InfamousCreep Trask also makes the Check M8 vented Trans cover that keeps the vacuum but it's $350. Apparently you won't need external breather on the AC or vented dipstick with this mod. But little too pricey in my opinion. There's another youtuber Ron's Workshop that uses the stock plastic cover and drills a hole into it and puts in a check valve. Might be my next project when I stop riding this winter.

Just a comment from what I saw watching about 8 ''KING OF THE BAGGERS'' videos. For some reason and I do not know exactly why (might have to do with piston ring sealing?) not one of the race motors that has to be around $ 30,000.00 at least and probably more had a catch can or venting mod other than the transmission cover that I could find? I did notice a vented dip stick.

@ericjames76803 жыл бұрын
@@InfamousCreep I think the Twin Cam had the breathers also. Doc says its a good idea but Baxter says no but then maybe yes? But the summping he thinks is really caused by the M8 being balanced and the oil gets thrown around too much. He is looking for a donor bike to remove the balancer to see if this helps. So back to researching!😎
@DONALD-MAGA3 жыл бұрын
@@ericjames7680 when you mention piston ring sealing, are you talking about maintaining a vacuum in the crankcase? The one way breather valves in the heads only open with internal pressure caused by the piston downstroke, right? So the vacuum in the engine from the upstroke of the pistons causes the breather valves to close thus maintaining the vacuum. The engine is not getting it's vacuum from the air cleaner.
