Here is the link to the pictures from another rider that has vented his or according to the thread the rep did it or saw it and went back to HD. Sorry, I'm not getting the whole thread, just the picture.

So the local dealers will be drilling and tapping the inner primaries and installing vent tubes, similar in concept to the vents on the transmissions?  (old 5-speeds anyway, not sure if the 6-speeds on the M8s are vented or not).

They are vented through the top cover with a U-shaped hose, like the earlier transmissions.

Am I the only one who is even slightly unsettled when the response to a new problem that's never been clearly diagnosed in a sealed system that's only received evolutionary changes over an extended period of years is: "let's poke a hole in it?"

Nope, I'm right there with you.  As an old shade tree guy for almost 54 years now, I do have a certain amount of appreciation for just doing what it takes to get something working.  But I don't expect shade tree crap from a manufacturer on a new highly overpriced piece of equipment.  For the prices they charge, I expect first class engineering and quality.  I guess that's why I've refused to buy anything from them in many years now.  I often question if they actually have an engineering department at all, or do they just farm everything out to their lowest bidder suppliers?

Your remark suggests another question Jerry.  The supply chain.  In a normal relationship a supplier (for a worst case scenario think of Takata) will suffer charge backs or other negotiated costs/penalties if their engineering or manufacturing is deficient and incurs costs on a final assembler or up-chain manufacturer. 

If that final OE has guidelines or poor engineering/assembly that leads to the problems the suppliers simply bail.  The trade press, however, doesn't say much about Harley suppliers bailing on them.  They're not captive suppliers.  So can't help but wonder how much of the all too common problems seen are (at that level of negotiation) recognized by Harley to be Harley's fault so recovery costs aren't pushed downhill or, if not, what else is unreported in the background.

TmHeritage...let us know how this works.  I assume it’s a one way valve.  ..right?   This just might be the fix... what’s puzzling is why this was not discovered in the design,engineering,and testing of the M8.?

Just saying  :-*
only 3 weeks till we see the 2019 lineup.  I’ll bet the M8s all have this
