Hi everyone I am new here and a new owner of a 2009 k9. I love the bike and started dressing it up. I bought a chrome spiked air filter and was wondering were i should put the crank case breather hose, (so it is not seen). any ideas and pictures would be awsome.

thank you very much

Mike......Some people will run the hose to the bottom of the bike. I have the spike air filter also and I just run it behind the support bracket and beside the carb. Not very noticable there.

Here is what I did with my hose that came out of the head when I put the Spike Filter on. I went to OReilly's Auto Parts and found a small K&N Valave cover breather that is chrome and red like my filter. I ran all braded lines and here is how it looks.

Did you have your elbow bracket powder coated? If so, do you mind if I ask what that cost?

Bass,
That idea worked out great! Looks better than I expected! Great Job! :2thumbs:

When I bought my D&M dual spikes (The Boss) they also offered a small chrome spike crank case breather as well, that's what I used!

I painted and clear coated it myself. The elbow was chrome when I got it but wanted something to break up the chrome just a bit.

That looks good bass. Dead, do you have any pics of your duel spikes?

Nevermind. I just looked up the price of the duel spikes. Daaaaamn! $1200 to $1625. If you ever want to sell parts, let me know.

I used some stainless steel braided line and ran mine down behind the carb between the trans and the engine. Can't really see anthing here but that was the idea. Ignore the red circle its just showing the tappet screen location.

Come on Brad, it's just money$$$$

Obama will loan you some $$$. He loans $$$ to everyone that doesn't need it! :lol::lol::lol:

You can't take it with you when you're gone! But you can sure enjoy it sometimes while you're here! :lol::lol::lol:

No, I bought the dual spike because I knew that the single spike wouldn't flow enough air for what I want! But I'm planning on looking into modifying the mounting angle. :loony:

Obama won't loan me any money but I think I'm going to sign my Labrador up for welfare and see if he can get some. He qualifies more than I do. He's unemployed, lazy, can't speak English and doesn't know who his daddy is. I'll let you know how that goes. :roll::roll::roll:

mf, what brand spike air cleaner did you buy? I was looking into getting one also but not sure what one to go with. There are so many to choose from.
