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.
Pete, Very interested to see how you do this as I would like to follow suit if possible.

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.

Thats just perfect!  Please tell us what parts you used, etc. Looks really clean that way.

It's the Kuryakyn bluegrass breather kit. I'm out of town so I can't take pictures.

Not all engines are equal so showing a pic of a piston clean or dirty proves what?? No idea of state of tune or how well rings sealed etc. If you do not want it inside vent it to the ground..  Or not,...... 99% of all the builds we do we let it go back in with no issues.. But that is a engine that has correct ring seal and proper tune..

i agree that the pictures are not a good example, too many unknowns. There is no good reason that anything coming out of the breathers should be dumped back in the throttle body. So I think I will vent to the ground.  :orange:

but where did you get the bracket that mounts the air filter on the left side? That isn't part of the Kury kit, is it?

I'd probably just use the little chrome can in the kit for me- especially since I have the Kury horn cover, so it would mount just like the pictures on their website.

It's in the Drag Specialties catalogue.

Ok just finished installing the Kuryakyn bluegrass breather kit #9932 on my SERG.  I'll attempt to take you through step by step how I did it.  First remove gas tank and existing air cleaner.  Great opportunity to clean and polish your rocker boxes and make sure wiring harnesses are clean and in good working order.

Next lay out the parts you'll need from the breather kit: you only need the banjo fittings, aluminum washers and 3/8" breather bolts.  In addition you'll need about 4 ft of 5/16" ID fuel/PCV hose and a 5/16" vacuum tee.  Cut the hose going the the rear cylinder head 3.5" long, the front cylinder hose 7" long and use the remainder to run down the backbone to the ground.  See photo.

Next route the end of the long hose through the hole in the frame behind the rear cylinder head, into the battery compartment and then down parallel to the gas tank overflow hose.

You will need to trim this hose to finish length once everything is set up, but for now just let it dangle under the bike.

Now since I'm going to modify the stock ventilator air cleaner because I can't use the stock breather bolts, I need a means to support the throttle body between the cylinder heads.  Kuryakyn makes this part too, it's called a carburetor support bracket but it is identical to the HD induction module support bracket pn 27712-08 used on non-CVO air cleaners with plastic housings.  The Kuryakyn pn is 9929 and comes in chrome of course!

Test fit the bracket to make sure everything is in alignment before tightening any bolts.  The bracket comes with 1/4" socket head mounting screws.  I had to take my die grinder and remove some metal in way of the breather bolts, likely due to having an HPI TB instead of stock, but it otherwise fit perfectly.  Make sure the bracket is flat against the cylinder head, then install the banjo fittings and breather bolts with aluminum washers.  The washers go on either side of the banjo fitting.  Once installed it should look like the photo below.

I suggest taking a tie wrap and secure the vacuum tee to the front cylinder spark plug wire near the support clip to keep things tidy

Make sure the breather bolts are tightened and you are finished with the breather install.  Just trim the vent hose under the bike and secure as you see fit.

Next I had to modify the ventilator air cleaner backing plate since the "ears" that are used to bolt the AC to the heads are no longer needed.  I used a hack saw to remove the "ears" and then set the backing plate up on my drill press table to mill the surface.  I don't normally recommend using a drill press as a mill as the quill bearings are not designed for radial loads, however in this case I'm dealing with fairly soft cast aluminum material and only taking a series of "skim" cuts until I achieve the desired finish dimension.  I used a 7/8" diameter HS two flute single ended end mill turning at 4000 rpm.  Came out real nice.  If you don't have this set up, a die grinder and disc sander would work as well.
