you talking about the little tube coming off the cover? I saw it last night and figured they already made it a vent on the 21 models

The tube coming off the cover is the trans vent.

Ok so regardless of making it or not. Is this something that is important to do to the m8s or not? Im all about preventive maintenance.

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.

@azgrumbles this right here...

Never saw that. Good idea. Will I do it? Probably not.

Did this modification to my '19. Easy enough, probably spent more time getting those cover screws out and back in, lol.

Didnt HD change the oil pump in 202 models to get rid on Sump issues and make this a non issue???

Would it hurt or help to do the vented dip stick and trans cover?

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

One more input here...When I did this mod on my 17 RG I noticed a difference in the flywheel being able to turn/rev faster...I think this is a worthy mod
