Figured I would share some pics.The hose by the battery is the original hose from vent to air cleaner. The prebent hose conforms nicely around the battery.These were taken today,the date on the camera isn't set,like that really matters.

How did you mount the filter ? or is it just tied off to the other hose ? and what is the other ?

I want to run mine out under the seat also, mine is mounted on the side right now.

I installed mine where my fuel pump used to be

I want to run mine out under the seat also, mine is mounted on the side right now.The other hose is the fuel tank breather hose. The filter is held with two zip ties,attached to the "eyelet" on the frame that the fuel tank breather hose goes through. There's a channel on the frame,which you can't see in the pic,but it's on the back side of the filter, and the filter fits perfect in it.

I ran new fuel line hose up the center frame member toward the front of the tank, and put a filter on it. It's completely out of sight. So far, so good.

just had recall done a few weeks ago just before key west poker run always ran great and quiet now lots of noise can deal with that pipes take care of that but when cleaning after the weekend i had lots of oil residue on pipes and saddle bags never ever, ever had that any ideas what it is they said rings were replaced so cant imagine whatsa up!

ed,

First off, did you talk to the dealer that performed the recall? Between lots of noise and oil residue, I'd be all over them to check their work and make good on whatever they messed up!

Second, is the oil residue on both sides, or right side only?

Just had the recall don a few weeks back and experianced the same thing with the oil residue. After picking it up and a 30 mile trip home there was oil everywhere, dripping of the fins of the heads and all over the block and everything from the engine back had a film of oil all over it. I thought OH CRAP, what did they screw up. I power washed the bike good and dried it, squeeky clean. I road it around the block and checked it over again. everything looked good except for an oil leak at the front where the chrome oil pipe to the heads connects to the block. I checked the bolt and it was tight so I suspected it was the copper seals. I took it back to the dealer and they replaced the seals and all is good and dry now. I think most of the oil mess was due to the dealer not cleaning off the engine after the teardown and running down the road 60-70mph and a hot engine probably thinned the oil residue left on the engine and it got blown all around everything. The bike looked clean when I picked it up but clean oil isn't real visable on these silvery engines. Wash it down real good then check it over after a run. Simple Green works excellent for de-greasing.

Are you afraid of oil spraying on the ground right in front of the rear wheel?

I have the Barons BAK and the crankcase vent puts oil into the air filter and sprays it down the side of the bike. It gets on the exhaust and saddlebags.

I run mine behind the carb and push rod tube and between the oil lines. I have a black engine so the hose doesn't show that much. The float bowl over flow tube runs down in the same area. If there is any dripping it will not be in the tire track.
