Here is the S&S style or old style cover that was used on BDM bikes prior to 2005 except the chopper, they still used this cover through 2005...





As for the S&S reed valve breather, I have heard that it was in very few 2005's, and in a chunk of 2006's.
I don't know that they ever went over to the reed breather 100%.
I have not taken apart a bike newer than 2005 to find one, but when I called BDM years ago,
they told me they used them.

So, I think the only way to find out is tear it down.






Jake,
What is the advantage of using the reed style breather? What are the consequences of using the stock gear breather?
