#364861 buckshot (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 972 Re:Crank Vent Help 1 Year, 1 Month ago   so your saying the filter is there to keep the junk off your bike but if you run a line down under the bike to the ground you don't need one right   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #364896 Scotto (User) Hmmmm Platinum Boarder Posts: 1576 Re:Crank Vent Help 1 Year, 1 Month ago   I had some extra tubing. Ran it down the spine then under to the front part of the battery box. Down, parallel with the rollover line then a quick left before it came out the bottom and attached a mesh screen filter that I attached to the rear horn mount (which I removed for the Stebel horn I mounted up front). It was actually easier to begin the process in reverse order... at the horn mount.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #364898 Bassmar@aol.com (User) Ride while you can!! Gold Boarder Posts: 716 Re:Crank Vent Help 1 Year, 1 Month ago   If you dont want to fool with all that you could pull the little filter off and wash it out with soap and water and reinstall it. It is washable.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 7911 Re:Crank Vent Help 1 Year, 1 Month ago   I just clean mine with dishwashing liquid. Get's all the oil out and leaves it nice and clean. Or you can use the same kit that you use for the K&N filter.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/04/15 20:47 By Greysnake.   06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #364989 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3209 Re:Crank Vent Help 1 Year, 1 Month ago   It's always going to let some oil vapor out and dirty your bike. I did both of mine in the erbman fashion... up under the tank with a simple $3 breather filter zip-tied to the ignition switch mount. The more stuff I can hide, the better I can show off my jugs! And, so far... NO oil vapor has gotten up to either of the filters I've installed to oil and soil anything!   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #365032 Stocked (User) Wayne Platinum Boarder Posts: 1221 Re:Crank Vent Help 1 Year, 1 Month ago   I purchased some fuel line that fit (about 4' feet of it) and then attached it to the crankcase and ran it back toward the bottom of the tank and then worked it straight down where it points right at the road. If you look up and under the bike right in front of the rear tire you'll see a small metal ring, I squeezed it in there. Then I just trimmed off the rest of the hose that I didn't need. I pulled it back off for something not too long ago and found that it was easier (as mentioned before in this thread) to run it backwards from the ground up to the cylinder head.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #365043 NICKHEAD (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 263 Re:Crank Vent Help 1 Year, 1 Month ago   +1 on the hose dumped out under the rear of the bike, had a fancy breather filter and it would blow oil residue on the engine once in a while, got tired of cleaning and just purchased a few feet of fuel line.   Logged     Too Many Mods...Not Enough Money   The administrator has disabled public write access. #365050 WasHD (User) Fix it 'til it breaks Senior Boarder Posts: 205 Re:Crank Vent Help 1 Year, 1 Month ago   I'm setting mine up right now with the erbman method, nice and neat...and cheap! Hey Nickhead, what kind of seat is that on yer bike, looks nice   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #365114 About_Time (User) Been there, swore at that! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1106 Re:Crank Vent Help 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Thanks all. I think I'll just eliminate the filter I have now to clean up the right side. I'm going to see how much hose is running to it and decide if I will go under the bike or use the Erbman method. Thanks again.   Logged     2004 Roadstar Silverado Marshall Gold/Beach Sand Tan Lots of chrome stuff   The administrator has disabled public write access.
