I cleaned my catch can after about 4000 miles and it had two teaspoons of oily water and a teaspoon of oil. Not much at all

In the next week or so I'll post detail photos on how to install the kuryakyn bluegrass breather kit on my SERG for those that might be interested.

I like the setup Pete, makes perfect sense for several reasons.

Yep, worked like a charm on my SEEG.  No ugly hoses hanging down your engine, catch cans or maintenance required.  Set it and forget it.

How come on the Kury website it says it is not for Touring models?

After 50 years of fooling with motors, I see no need for this diverting the overflow waste. Let it burn, combustion temp is so high these days that immediately the fumes are turned into exhaust waste go away and they are almost fully fumes at this stage, turn to liquid as they cool and accumulate in hose or can. If really worried about it, use a add-on bung welded into high vacuum area of exhaust and let the exhaust suck it out like we did our race cars 40 years ago before we found vacuum pumps. But nothing I want to deal with in a can hung under a vehicle. JMHO.

thats fine if it does burn off, but on my 02 SERK it would slowly saturate the AC and once that was full it would drip out

Interesting....

these screen shots are from a vendor selling breather kits and such, YMMV

Cars have been required to vent the crankcase back to the intake for over 40+ years now, and we don't see car engines dropping like flies by the side of the road from that recirculated stuff.  On top of that, many cars had/have recirculated exhaust gases also dumped back into the engine to help reduce NOx.  And yet todays car engines have the highest reliability and length of service in the history of the product.  How can that possibly be?  And I don't see ads for products to bypass the system and vent the crankcase to atmosphere for cars either.

Pete I will be very interested in seeing your instal. Thanks in advance.

I agree, but I think the difference is how the system is designed for a car versus a twin cam Harley.  Oil vapor is one thing, pure oil is another and that is what comes out of the twin cam head and directly into your intake.

This is how I vented my Heavy Breather.

I believe this has to do with what type of air cleaner base plate that is used.  I will have to modify the base plate on the ventilator AC to accommodate the banjo fittings, not a big deal, but because it is not a direct bolt on product, the manufacturer makes disclaimers.  Doesn't mean it won't work.

That looks good!  i see you are using the Kuryakyn breather bolts, but I didn't think they were long enough to install the banjo fitting on the outside of the AC.  Can you show us how you did it?  This won't work for me using a ventilator AC.

I tapped threaded holes in the bolt covers, and the bolt sticks out on the inside. I have a short hose that joins the inside bolt head to the outside bolt.

A picture would be a lot easier to follow than my explanation.
