Nice job, I’m a retired Harley mechanic and I’ve always just ran the hose to the ground never liked the idea of a catch can or filter to always clean , the hose is the way to go, thanks for the video
The only problem you overlooked, respectfully, is that the blow-by, (however minimal), gets on your tire sidewalls. The best way is to run the hose all the way back to the end of the rear fender, whatever it takes! You can use 1/4" steel tubing under the fender. As an owner of several early model FL and Brit bikes it is important to PCV, "WITHOUT THE MESS"!
I noticed in the video, the bottom of the air cleaner and the cover have oil dripping and collecting. I’m wondering if the hose sizes you’re using are too small? What’s causing the oil at the bottom of the air cleaner??
I don't see anywhere in this video where I had the air cleaners off. The oil bypass, it was already done on both of these bikes, so nothing is collecting on the filter. In my other videos where I am doing the bypass job, yes, there is oil on the filter because that is normal when you don't have the bypass.
What year did you say your SgS was. I bought a 2022 SgS and I am occasionally smelling oil from my right side near the breather. Are they having this problem with the 2022's?
Mine's a 2014. All the bikes vent oil mist into the air intake. Keeping the level at the halfway point on the dipstick helps some, but what you're experiencing is by design. That's why people do the bypass.
@M J There are slightly different ways to do it depending on what intake you have, but the principle is the same. You can check out this site, they sell various kits for the different bikes. www.dkcustomproducts.com/

Thanks! I definitely prefer going to the ground.

I appreciate you posting. I'm very meticulous about this stuff. I've done this job on 3 bikes, and never seen any oil on my tires.

@@bluesriderDF so could I conduct the same bypass that you did on my 2022 the same way.
