This breather bolted on fine. After a couple hundred miles of running it, I put on Cycle Shack exhaust pipes. A couple of hundred miles later, I got an oil leak through my rear rocker box gasket. The bke was previously re-jetted and the operating temperature is fine. What are the chances that this bracket doesn't breathe as well as the Screamin' Eagle breather/air cleaner that it replaced and as a result I've got too much crankcase pressure, which resulted in blowing out the rocker box gasket?

Otherwise, the bracket is well machined, looks fine, and installed perfectly.

Chris-

The bracket you purchased just vents the heads back into the airfilter assembly, so there really shouldnt be any issues with too much back pressure causing the head gasket to leak. We have not had any issues with the brackets causing rockerbox problems as of yet and have sold tons of these units. It could be just a coincidence that has happened as the bike is a about 9-10 years old. We are not really sure what to tell you other than what we have experienced here with other customers. Your problem is most likely rooted in something other than the bracket assembly. Sorry we could not be of more assistance......Licks Cycles.
