Author Message   Greenlanternjeep Posted on Sunday, July 10, 2011 - 11:20 am:        i read a post about the crankcase vent relocation that was very detailed with pics parts list and all now i cant find it and i wanted to do this today help me please   Metaldude Posted on Monday, July 11, 2011 - 10:50 am:        If you search on "Breather Reroute", you'll find a ton of links. (probably too many!) I think this is the one you were looking for: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/422128.html?1229268121 I've done the re-route and it was really simple. If you have some 3/8" hose and a barbed tee, you can have it done in 20 minutes. If you want to rig up a catch can with a air filter, it may take a bit longer. IF you have any questions, post them back to this thread. Many of us have done this mod and will probably have more advice than you want!   Johnboy777 Posted on Monday, July 11, 2011 - 12:14 pm:        I never saw the purpose of a filter and catch can - I just ran the hose from the T connection (up top) down next to the muffler outlet. Be sure to check your rear EGR valve (or whatever its called) fitment - my valve grommet was worn/loose and caused the plastic valve (atop the rocker cover) to flop around and oil leaked out onto my rocker cover and into my fan, etc. - it looked like a bad rocker cover gasket, but wasn't...just a thought.

The filter prevents dirt from being drawn back into the engine (unlikely on a ULY consider the length of the breather hoses. Mark AZ   Johnboy777 Posted on Monday, July 11, 2011 - 12:39 pm:        ""The filter prevents dirt from being drawn back into the engine"" Actually the filter acts as a vent pipe, to keep everything flowing down the tubing and into the catch can - think plumbing sys. vent pipe. Air (w/ a slight water vapor and oil mix) is always flowing outward.
