No, I missed it. I was concentrating on the trike stuff mainly.
Hey Jack, did you mail me anything yet?

Sorry Micheal,
I should have posted that yesterday... Doc's had a bash yesterday and intro'd some of the 19's ...but as you point out ... no Freewheelers.
The article about the breathing issues sounds interesting. I need to read it. Was thinking about one of Kevin's external breather mods to improve oil puking through the carb, I wonder if it would help reduce potential oil migration as well? (assuming case pressure in a major contributing factor)
I couldn't go yesterday. I installed an external breather system of my own design quiet a few months back & saw increased performance & keeping my engine oil level 1/2 way up the dipstick markings when checked cold, I get no oil blowby at all & I have no oil migration from my tranny.
Mine runs awesome, with my only other engine mod being a K&N air filter in the stock box.
External venting for the heads is a must on these bigger inch engines IMO
It keeps the intake and inside cylinders free of carbon build up that can cause pre ignition and rob power plus create more internal heat and pressure
This is one of the first mods all my bikes get

Is proper external crankcase venting dependent on intake vacuum and, if not, is the catch canister elevation critical, ie: does it need to be above the head vent bolts or is under the motor equally effective? :Shrug:
I've assembled all the goodies to set an EBS system up but these questions plague me. :gah:
No, the vents work via atmospheric pressure
I run my vent hose down, some vents run up and over. The vents are 1 way, so no oily mess should go the opposite direction. I hope this helps![]()
It does help, thanks Jack....think running the tubes down from the bolts would be the best way.
Do you have a catch can or a vent filter....or both?
Kinda sort of
I have a drain valve on mine
Once a week I open it and rain the hose into a bucket and recycle the oil and water
I listened to you when I first got here Jack & did my FW.![]()
Does the addition of an EBS kill the warranty?

Kind of what I figured Ma EPA overreacting again! With a well designed system all that escapes to the environment are warm vapors....oil & water will condensate inside the collection vessel. I have a dipstick to monitor level, when there's enough water I'll pull it out for my morning coffee & use the oil in the chainsaw!
Burning it up in the FW motor is just plain wasteful! :laugh:

Do you have a picture or description as to how you made your own external breather system?
I kind of wish they would have left the extras off the Freewheeler
It IMO should remain the unmolested Hot Rod Trike
I do like the bigger 114 engine I may test ride one without my wife![]()
I 100% agree with you on our FW. I do think that improving the linked braking system to work with either foot or hand actuator will help a lot of people with disabilities.
No, no pictures. I would go to our vendor, DK Customs. They have information on their website.
