According to my mechanic...YES, it is very important to use one of these fixes. Had I known about it, I would have used
the $99.99 A1 version referenced above or made the fix in the video. I used the Fueling Parts version.

It is also important to fix the Trans to Primary oil transfer problem mentioned above. There's a guy in Wisconsin that sells an $80.00 clutch shaft that is thicker than HD's. It solves this problem and takes about 1/2 hour to install.

It is also important to fix the oil into the cylinder breather issue. Doc Harley has a real good utube video on this issue with a simple fix also.

This is what I did:
. I liked his solution, similar to the Trask cover but cost me less than $10, was easy to do. It's interesting, when you remove the trans cover you do see a vent for the crankcase in there...it's almost like Harley was going to vent it (right next to the trans vent) but the EPA wouldn't let them. So far, so good for me.

Hey Dmerch

I did mine this exact way and I am burping oil everywhere from the uni filter. How is yours? I am running the same 1 way check valve Ron suggested in the vid. When you did yours, did you drill a hole in the gasket to line up with the installed fitting? Thats what I did...I will probably go back and snip out the entire cavity and use more line and hopefully that will help.

Any input?

Thanks
