So, whose backing plate should I be looking at then? And it may as well be chrome to help out with the LED's I put on last week.

Are you looking to upgrade air cleaners?  If not and you're only doing this over concern for the intake charge you're probably trying to fix a problem you don't have. 

Any signs of plugs fouling?  Oily mess in the air filter?  Concern over carbon build up in the engine?

If none of the above don't mess with it.  If none of the above but still want chrome use 29510-05.

I concur with Dr. 2Ln, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

The AC is a SE part now. I figured with the LED's now I would change it out for chrome.

The plugs usually look OK, and like I said, I have no drips, just a little bit of oily dirt on the inside of the cover (I have the SE Fatboy cover).

I just never got an answer as to why my cylinder heads looked like they did when I had the bent valve a 10K miles.

These are the pictures taken at the repair.

Well I'm new to this forum.  I've been follow the threads on this crankcase breather line spitting oil out.  What a pain, everytime after riding like yesterday about 100 miles spits out onto my exhaust pipe and burning then having to clean the chit up.  I've got the zippers a/c kit on a zippers 50mm tb, and the breather hose and oil collector hanging below the tb.  Well, what have you guys been doing with this vent line?  Reroute the line under the bike or tap into the a/c backplate?  I know there is pros and cons on both, but what is the best for the bike?  Any help would be great.
