if you stick a dainty supermodel size panty liner on the bottom inside of the breather, it'll catch the oil that the vent spits out.
By the end of the trip tho, I'm sure I'll have to upgrade to the "OH LAWDY' high flow type of 3 inch thick maxi pads. (they also make really good helmet padding)

I try to share helpful tips whenever possible. make sure to take notes.

Or drill a hole and stick in a tube that redirects any "excess" oil to the tarmac underneath and you'll have a clean and dry Sporty.

Ok notes are being taken. One question how do you get the panty liner from the girl?

Not THAT would make for some strange smelling exhaust.

Doug, give the Road of Bones hell. I know you can make the ride, but I'm taking bets on the Dirtster giving you hell, but not winning.

IN... Best of luck Doug. I may have missed it; but what are you doing for fork leg guards?

Best, Rick

In my experience with breather/blow-by problem = majority of blow-by will happen with excess oil in tank. Fill'r to the bottom marker on the dip-stick and you should be good to go. Any oil above the bottom line will eventually drain itself on y'er right knee cap.

The Sporty has always been my favorite Harley. I put more than 100K on a 97 883. To me it is the last of the standards. Good for just about anything. Everything else seems specialized nowadays. The simple engine/trans combo and the cradle frame are great. I think you will do fine. Mine went trough some mild off roading and soft sand in the CA desert with no mods at all. Yours should do great. If only Harley had someone that looked forward (Buell) instead of backward (Willie G n company), then all of us rednecks could be riding American Iron. I am looking forward to your misadventures. Maybe you can get a film crew and that guy from Star Wars to ride with you.
