Rocker breathers

[Buckster]

I had time today so I fitted the new rocker breathers, rear cylinder is a pain because of clearance with the frame so I had to get a 7/16 torque extender which I ended up ordering from the states. Anyway the new style breathers assemblies which were gifted to me by Edinburgh Harley Davidson solved some of the clearance issues. Hopefully no more oil guffing into the air filter for a few thousand miles.

First the rear cylinder, removing the old breather.

Comparing old and new.

New breather fitted.

Then the front cylinder.

It all looked nice and clean in there which is a good sign.

Gaskets looked okay but I fitted new ones anyway, put it all together and warmed the motor up and no leaks so jobs a good one.

Couldn't do a test ride as the mot ran out yesterday, I must make a note on the calendar. Going in on Tuesday morning for that.

That's called grass it's a plant people use for Lawns and pasture for animals, you wont recognise it because it's usually brown in Spain
