I did my Dyna 2006 with a big sucker and screaming eagle slip-on and tuned it still runs great, enjoyed the video Arlen Ness makes dam good bike parts.
on the '97 dyna kit, each hollow breather bolt has a circular hole on one side that apparently must line up with the breather hole on the backplate. Are the threads designed so the bolt hole lines up with the hole on the backplate when torqued down to proper specs? If the bolt holes don't line up with the backplate hole you won't get any airflow. I'm thinking you have to mark the top of the bolt where the hole is and then you try to line it up with the backplate hole? This was not discussed in this video. Seems to me this is important.
Now all you need is an external breather kit with a catch can from DK customs so you don't get all that Gunk back in your engine 😂 😂 yeah baby do it right
Hey, Can you answer a technical ? for me please, I have a 2000 HD Road King Police w/ Magneti Marelli fuel injection. Straight off the Lot I had WAUGH HD put V&H pipes on it , and the Screaming Eagle Stage I Breather kit , I now have the Vance Pro Pipe 2 into one on it with a Power Commander 3 I think . Dynoed , etc. My question is : Will the Arlen Ness Big Sucker purchase be worth the $160 if I already have the HD S Eagle breather ? Are they the same ? I'm really limited with the Magnetti Marelli restrictions. CARY in Va.
You're never supposed to use petroleum based grease with O-rings, petroleum based grease dissolves rubber... Trust me I know firsthand, I have disassembled parts that had O-rings that were installed with petroleum-based Grease, and the old O-rings were like a rubbery liquid. You can get a silicone based grease specifically made for O-rings for a couple of bucks at a hardware store in the faucet section...
you sir are a smart man. wonder my orings were failing,( and smealing grease when hot) giving me LOUD knocking exhaust leaks, sound like a damn rod knock, that ive been trying to track down for a while. yes, i bought poloyorathane ( green) orings from HF. ty for your input Mo!
Great videos as always. Thank you for them. I’m scheduled to get the HD service dept to install my FP3, Arlen Ness A/C and V&H shortshots for me. But I’m thinking, I can install the AC and FP3 on my own and have them is tall the short shots for me - ultimately saving me money on labour. By installing those two pieces on my own and then driving to the service dept and having them instal the short shots, will it cause any damage to my iron883 along the way, do you think? Thx
Note: Removing breather bolts using 7/16", then, installing the breather bolts using 1/4". Additionally, appears the breather hose was not installed while watching the video. Pls explain. TY
The breather hoses were not reinstalled because the Big Sucker does away with them. It allows the heads to breath through the bolts directly into the backing plate. Great question.
Nice. I want one, but how do I get to the lower T27 bolt that is behind that cheesy metal on the outside of the factory sir filter? It is totally hidden behind the metal and I cannot get to it.
Do they make shorter standoffs for these? my kit came already installed on the softail i bought this summer. I bought a replacement stage 1 air filter and it is too short. The standoffs are way too long so there is a big gap.
Very helpful -I followed this on 2016 FLHR step by step and on 1st start the bike struggled to find the air but eventually worked out and sounds great.
Excellent video. I’m doing a stage 1 using the Big Sucker, Rhinehart 4” exhaust, and an FP3. Got the pipes on first, had to come see your video before I install the Big Sucker. You made it look easy enough for a red butt baboon to put on. Thanks.
Crazy when you read the directions it comes with this is literally how it should come out lol but hey! Some of us are visual learners and maybe can’t read basics ;). Stay safe my friends! Sunday humor btw! If you ride a Harley and act like a bitch, just get a sissy bar and start it up in your garage and sit in the back and complain about everything in life lol 😅😝

Thanks for watching

Awesome video man!
Great video, thanks!!
Did I miss it or does this breather not allow the heads to vent?
There are holes in the breather bolts that allow the heads to vent into the filter...
Can u add an external breather on this kit to keep blow by out off filter
@@mattcarlson4521 watch Rob workshop video on blow by
Great video can you please give me the part number, thanks
Sir, what type of grease did you use.
Just axle grease. You can also use Vaseline. Just looking to hold the o-ring in place.
Are the breather bolts vented? How do you deal with crank case pressure?
The breathers are vented into the air cleaner
So any oil residue would drip straight onto the air filter and motor as there are no breather hoses?
how do the heads breathe???
The bolts that attaches the backing plate to the heads has channels built into them to allow the heads to breath!
AN is a rip off if the unit didn’t vent breather to catch can or to the air it’s a waste because u fix nothing
I've been intrigued with this kit and wondered how it fit.The spacer to mount the cover really helped figure that out.Great video.
Wait up, what about the breather tube? Is it blocked off or condemned? If so, then your check engine light will go ON the dash.
Thanks - great video. Does the air filer element have any sort of gasket or o ring against the backing plate?

good video, but it would be nice if you would've said what the torque on the bolts are,,some of us don't have a instruction manual.
Right I need the breather bolt to spec bad lol

@@FatHeadCycles This is enough reason to buy this. The rest is a bonus.
What are the Torque Values for the reinstalled bolts?
It’ll show you on the instructions
Dk customs products ses there way better .
I’m a fan of using a battery operated 1/4” drive impact on removing everything.
Zip zip zip done
And a torque wrench to install
Thanks man”””””” it’s a piece of cake really”
Nice. I want one, but how do I get to the lower T27 bolt that is behind that cheesy metal on the outside of the factory sir filter? It is totally hidden behind the metal and I cannot get to it.

so we don't have to reinstall beatherbolt hose and fuel management is needed. with this upgrade?
great job, good vid. But didnt you need rubber o rings for the breather hole/intake holes?
Loved the video! Looks like an easy diy job! Accept for having to tune it…….
terrible video
Do I need to worry about oil catch or something like that i saw in other videos?
If I add this to my 99 Road King do I have to mess with any of the tuning afterwards
Very helpful -I followed this on 2016 FLHR step by step and on 1st start the bike struggled to find the air but eventually worked out and sounds great.
Do you have to torque down the Allen bolt at the end??
Great video, have Vance&hines pipes on my 09 street glide, what king of adjustment I have to do if install this kind of intake
👍🏽💯
Can you run this stock or need a tune ?
Do I need a fuel pak or can I run it stock
What exactly did you have to do to the Power Commander?
What brand name is that torque wrench?
Very good, very specific, thank you.
I have one on my 14 road king

So the breather hose doesn't go back on?
Do you have a video on how to service/maintain this type of filters. Thank you
Spray K&N filter cleaner on it , let set 5-10 mim , spray it off with water lightly , let dry really good , spray K&N filter oil on it , done.
Good job ! Thanks
Our pleasure!
Great video and instruction.
Do I need a fuel pak or can I run it stock
How do I program it?
Nice work my brother 👍
Great video, excellent delivery👏🏼
Ain’t no way in hell those engine bolts are 7/16.
You are correct. The actual bolt diameter is not 7/16". The message that I was trying to convey is that you need a 7/16" socket to remove the bolts.
WOW
Black allen head studs go into the throttle body first, not into the stand off bolts.
How much?

Awesome video very well done and informative, explained everything perfect!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
