You need the Carb Support for the After Market Breathers. D & M has them as well.
I took my Spike off yesterday for this baby and I love it.
Looks great :2thumbs:

generally you buy them a-la-carte. so the price for each piece doesn't sound so expensive.

Force has the whole kit on their website, including the bracket, but it's close to $500.
J&P is the most expensive mail order site on the web!!!!
See if Nelson (WB Cycles) our site sponsor can get you what you want.

I'm finding that out. Heheheh.J&P is the most expensive mail order site on the web!!!!

I'll do that. Ebay is looking like a good option too.
A lot of us have the Wimmer set up. You buy the bracket and elbow and put on any 2 1/2" filter you like. I run a "Green" filter on mine. They have all different kinds of color oils also.
The Wimmer set up is probably less than $200 bucks and has the fitting for the rear breather.

You buy this bracket with elbow. You don't need the two breathers (they are for older motors).
You order the bracket for our SSW motors that has a fitting for the rear breather hose;
For the filter you can use K&N or Green. Use a 2 1/2" flange;

Ok, I'm thinking this is the right kit if I also get the support bracket and S&S Super G adapter...right?

I guess that would be the one but you would need the S&S G adapter ring then the bracket.
Looks like this one may be the whole kit.

If I'm reading this right, here's a Drag Specialties bracket that eliminates the need for the adapter.

I saw that, but I thought it meant 100" only. I dropped 'em an email to clarify.

In a nutshell....
You will need a "support bracket" no matter what. This helps secure the filter to the carb/engine and PREVENT an intake leak.
In addition an enricher with a knob is prefered and necessary. This should have "twist/lock"notches so you can engage the enricher hands free. (Basically, with the notches when you pull up the enricher and give it a small twist it engages and locks in place giving you hands free operations)
Finally you will need to address the engine breather. As a reminder the engine DOES NOT use BREATHER BOLTS as traditionally found and listed in the DRAG link; support bracket you posted. The DOG's use a breather found in the middle of the rear cylinder. (You can see this if you trace the black hose that is currently plugged into the existing air filter back plate). The cleanest way to address this is to select a bracket as suggested by Ray. Else another option is to run a hose to the bottom of the bike - leave it open or attach a filter to it.

No cause your bike doesn't have internal breathers. You need the one with external fittings or route your rear breather to the ground.
Ok Brian, 3 pages!!! What is it you are having issues with? Your bike has external breathers so if you are looking for something that states internal breathing then that is not for your motor. Internal breathing is where the motor vents through the two fittings where the bracket bolts to the heads. 05 and up have external breather hoses coming out of the top of each cyclinder head. The front one is routed to the manifold and the rear one goes to the backing plate.
Get the Forcewinder system for the SSW motor or the Wimmer with the external fittings and a cone filter. It's easy not complicated.
If you're trying to same money then I would say the Wimmer bracket with elbow and a simple filter. The Forcewinder is more expensive, D&M is real expensive and the stock unit works real well with a K&N filter.
