Ok 1500 v&h and chuckster's air have a little bit of oil coming from air breather from the crankcase vent line has anyone had this issue and how should I correct it?

Purchase
1. rubber plug.
2. motorcycle oil breather filter.
3. rubber hose.

Plug the backside of air filter mounting plate where the oil breather line attaches.
Then re-route the oil breather line to the right front side of bike and attach.

You may be able to do a close up picture of my bike showing the location.

Problem Solved

Well,if theres a little oil mist coming from the pcv hose, theres no worry, its normal, its putting the oil mist into intake so it can be burned....this is normal.
There are some folks that run the hose straight up above the radiator and add a nice fancy chrome breather.
I usually do the same thing, oil mist goes up, oil falls back down. 2/3rds the way up toward the filter, I install a TEE, then go to air filter base plate. This actually vents to crankcase, and helps avoid all the oil running down the backing plate.

You don't have full intake vacuum pulling fumes from crankcase, which will help siphone oil if you have alot of base pressure....

I ran mine right up the left side and mounted the breather to a boss above the horn. Not sure why you'd want to run it back over to the right side of the engine but either way works. i would tell you though that twice the breather has separated from the chrome base. This time I siliconed all around the base of the breather and so far it's held.

Haven't had any issues what so ever with the breather that I installed. Been on for years and years.
