 For these breathers you would need to get a head breather kit and carb support bracket. \\
 The breather kit routes the head vents to the ground (or atmosphere) while the carb support bracket keeps the carb in the intake. \\

 Remove the banjo bolts 1 at a time and thread in its place part# 3577. Place one of the original O rings on each bolt. The side benefit here is these bolts have Allen heads. No more trying to find a thin wrench that fits between the backing plate and it's mounting sleeve . While your at it, take those O rings to Ace hardware and get new ones. I went with O rings that were slightly thicker, and a slightly larger OD diameter, same ID of course. The new bolts will plug off the old oil vent passages in the Big Sucker so nothing needs to be done here.
-Press the boots on the new breather bolts. You can see in the pics the air filter will keep them in place. Place a fuel injector clamp on each one. Now slip a 5 1/2 inch piece of 5/16 vacuum line inside the one inch tail you left on each boot. Clamp it.

 Now point the front breather hose toward your front axle and the back one to the rear axle. Have them meet in the Tee fitting under your float bowl. Run the single line off the Tee along side the carburetor overflow line.

 A variety of air filters and covers can now be used. . I interchange between a round cover and the "Ham Can" while using an over sized K&N filter. To bolt up the stock "Ham Can", take the bracket off the factory element and simply put it on the BS filter. Also, you can buy a replacement filter for the stage 2 Big Sucker and put it in your stage 1 kit. The filter element is the only difference in the stage 1 and 2. There's one replacement filter for all stage 2 applications. 3 holes match the CV 40, the others plug off. Now go try.

 ===== Vent Line Routing =====
 ==== Above vs Below the Head Vents ====
 There has been debatable ways to route the vent lines off the heads when doing air cleaner mods. \\
 However, exact line routing comes down to function over fashion. \\

 Vent lines mounted low allows oil to leave the heads. \\

 Vent lines mounted high tend to promote a mixture of oil and condensation settling near the head connection of the hose. \\
