How to Install a Stage 1 Air Cleaner and External Breather System on a Harley Davidson Street Glide

In this video I show how to install an after market stage 1 Air Cleaner (from DK Customs) on a Street Glide with throttle by wire and also install an external breather system that can help improve performance and longevity of your Harley Davidson.

Best air cleaner and EBS install vid I've ever seen. Right to the point !!

[@pauldersch6936]

Glad I came across your video. I was not sure exactly how to install my EBS with my DK Custom 828 Air cleaner, but YOU made it really ease for me to accomplish the task. Thanks so much...

[@prh1968]

Great video, looking forward to part2. I start my install this week!

[@GraniteCityRiders]

I'm nearly done with the next video... hold tight!

[@jam4567]

Great install video, nice air cleaner and breather setup. FYI, im installing my Arlen Ness rotor upgrade on my 16 SB.. Thanks for doing that video as well. Peace & ride safe.

[@223remington3]

This video just saved my ass! I had my washers in the wrong order. Your video had the best descriptions out of all the tutorials on DK filters and breathers. Even better than DKs! Thanks CS!

[@GraniteCityRiders]

Hell yeah... glad the video helped you out brother. Thanks for watching.

[@johnperkins6720]

Routed mine around and underneath the 606 Intake due to lack of Hose Length but looks awesome !

[@arlie505]

good job

[@-MrRichBiker1967]

Hey what's up brother Love the video, I have a 2005 15th anniversary with the screaming eagle backplate kit with the grommets that you showed early how do I get your setup and a bracket like you have for the air cleaner

[@48retrop]

My experience with this kind of a setup on an M8 engine is that the external filter fills up with snot after a few weeks and pukes out oil to wherever you have it routed, creating the problem that you started out to cure in the beginning. At the end of the day I just removed the filter altogether and ran the rubber hose down to the bottom of the bike and vented out to the atmosphere.

[@MaryJaneismyGF]

you can clean the snot out every so often too.. im ordering one to try it so ill eat my words if youre right and it becomes full too rapidly

[@AZSemperFi]

The problem with this DK Customs kit is that it works against gravity and the blowback accumulates around the banjo fittings. The banjo fittings should be routed straight down and not up over the heads.

[@PeteyPablo408]

Ehat external breather kit did you use? Do you have a link to it?

[@senem1769]

Hi, what socket did you use to take out the two breather bolts?

[@BAHRacingTeam]

I have a 2010 dyna wide glide. Will this require a tune after install?

[@alanwhiteside410]

Granite City Riders is that like Granite City, Illinois?

[@bradspatz7690]

Under normal riding, how often do you need to dump the catch can?

[@badsanta518]

better not to haver the can. it'll just leave a puddle on the floor in your garage.

[@shotgun161]

Great vid man!! New sub here! I have a 06 dyna super glide. I have one question when u put the new air filter on do you have to remap it? For the air/fuel mix??? I want to do this but the dealer here said I would have to map it. They charge a lot!

[@Andy-px1mj]

Yes mate you need to map it. Changing the filter alters the fuel/air mix. Without a fuel management system like fp3 it will run incorrect

[@agustinbacinello5013]

good video. I wanted to ask you if this filter system and External Breather System works in a dyna 09. I bought a fat bob recently and I wanted to make a change like this. greetings from Argentina

[@-MrRichBiker1967]

Yes me as well, do you have the screaming eagle backplate with the rubber grommets I have an '05 Fatboy I want to switch to what he has

[@robertoramos1652]

how to install a super charger 1999 Yamaha road star silverado 1600cc help

[@jhanlon1903]

did you tee the 2 hoses togeather

[@GraniteCityRiders]

yes.. they are teed together before they go to the filter.

[@kevinlam1868]

How does this product actually ventilate the crankcase if there is only a catch can? Am I missing something here?

[@125saito]

The catch can has breather holes in the top and the oil goes into the filter layers in the bottom. Oil in air out. If you look at this video from about the 1:30 to 2:00 mark you can see the design of the catch can pretty well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYq2goqNf76Nl80

[@thedudearides]

Got a question for you but I can't see anywhere to message you directly.

[@GraniteCityRiders]

You can shoot me an email at [e-mail]

[@goodboyringo9716]

DK breather is 100.00 , just the small catch can not the parts he showed.

[@Tecton420]

Is there ever a point where installing an external breather would no longer really be worth it ? Those without and with photos at the end made my eyes pop out of my head lol.....at 9kish miles after a top end rebuild on my fxdb, I can only imagine what mine looks like inside. Another dumb question, is there a product or method out there to clean all that shit out without tearing down the motor ? Is that what the seafoam shit is supposed to be cleaning ? Kick ass production quality as always man, good stuff!

[@GraniteCityRiders]

Thanks Matt... I think it's worthwhile no matter how many miles. The buildup will at least stop accumulating. Sea foam is popular for carbon build removal.. I have never used it myself. Maybe someone else out there can speak to this...

[@PicPoc-oz5gd]

Yes, there are some chemicals for this job. Gixxxerfoo the KZbiner has a video about it. 1st remove the air filter and spray it right in the intake 2nd one day before the oil change, remove the spark plugs, spray the foam inside and let it work overnight. Next day, mount everything back, warm up the engine and make the oil change. I hope that helps....

[@MegaBurndown]

so the oil is going to drip on the bike !! why didn't" you rout that it would drip on the ground ???

[@ericnuernberg3901]

steve The oil is held in the can on the end of the hoses 👍🍺

[@douchebagdyna4870]

Love your channel bro. I’m building up my 09 SBOB. I just did my 1st “start up” video. check it out and tell me what ya think so far 🤘🏻⚡️⚡️

[@GraniteCityRiders]

[@douchebagdyna4870]

Thanks man. It is a big upgrade for me. Coming from the stock 96 to the built 110. I’m definitely getting that Arlen ness OS rotor per your video. Also gonna pick up that bad ass Johnny cash derby cover . Keep doing you man 🤘🏻⚡️⚡️

[@timfitzgerald9526]

[@kevindecker2278]

[@dmystify1381]
