    FYI - the Trask cover vents the crankcase, same as your Feuling dipstick. Although it is a Trans cover, it covers two separate chambers and the actual vent is on the crankcase side. HD has a simple rubber vent tube you can retrofit under the existing trans cover to vent the transmission if you don’t have that already.

    Diy transmission cover vent is the way to go. You can service and inspect the one way check valve that way vs. the trask would be more difficult

    One of the first mods I made on my 17 CVO Ultra was to install a EBS to get that nasty oxygen depleted and oil mist air out of my throttle body. I am waiting for the A1Cycles vented dipstick to come right now. I just couldn't justify spending the extra 150 bucks for the Fueling, they both do the same thing. The fueling is a nice looking piece though! I think I will even do the trans cover vent as well. Let that baby breathe as much as possible!

    Hello. I've been running the Fueling Vented Billet Oil Dipstick on my '20 SGS Stage-4 117 for about a year; works good. Two months ago (Dec. 2021), I bought a '21 RGS (Snake Venom w/Black Pkg.) and decided to go with the Trask Transmission Cover Vented Plate for 2 reasons: 1. From researching, this is the optimum place to ventilate the bottom end (Crankcase). 2. It's a quality metal piece that replaces the OE plastic piece. Regarding venting the top end (Heads)...I'm researching this; like the concept; would most likely go with a vented catch can if/when I decide. I've not experienced any oil buildup inside the HD SE High-flow air cleaners on any of my HD Touring/Performance bikes. My game plan: 1. Address Heat Mgmt. (add fan to oil cooler at a minimum). 2. Ventilate the crankcase. 3. Address the "marginal" (crappy) stock HD suspension (replace with upgraded pieces from Legends, Ohlins, etc.)...you'll be glad you did, trust me. Once you upgrade the suspension, you'll never go back to stock!

    Informative video, dude...thanks for making the time to educate us. You and I have the same bike (different color) and I love your brown seat! Would you mind providing the link to the vent system you're running, please? Thanks again.
