S&S Super E clear vent line location
When I got the bike the vent line was wraped aroun the pushrod tube. I'd like run it up between the fuel tanks out of sight. Opinions?

They run them down behind the pushrod tubes and down the back of the engine for a reason.If your float gets stuck,fuel runs out of there.Its not just a vent,its an overflow too.

Re: S&S Super E clear vent line location
This is the first year I am running the S&S-E,-my overflow is blocked-off,However I do not recomaend this as people do for get to shut-off pet-cocks & you have to work on the FLOAT & NEEDLE before even attempting this! REMEMBER a new E out of the BOX has ISSUES concerning the FLOAT!--NOT all have it! thats the problem,IF you really have even a hint of doubt DONT DO IT!--I have posted how I did it (FLOAT-ISSUES)& my petcock dont leak (trickle) if something was to happen. But I am very satisfied with how much better she inhales, Theres a row of MOUNTAINS a half hr. from me & a steep incline, Riding 2-up & gear I use to have to take 2nd..Now I took it in 3rd. WITH NO STRESS on the MOTOR!--I was looking to broaden my RPM range.I dont have a hot-rod its a 74-.030 over & 81/2 to 1 on the comp. Stock flh cam that I had regrounded to my specs. after many hours of crunchin numbers! Basically I went for a little more hangtime, & open pipes,I ride daily year round--this is all i ride so originality took a back seat for GET THERE & BACK! Thgose who know me here know thats it my only source of get around!-I cant insure a cage ,never mind fuelin it up!---ENUFF---GOOD-LUCK & WHEELS-UP-----RICHIE
