A buddy of mine just bought a used 1988 Electraglide that seems to have had a number of weird mods done to it.
It's got the stock(?) butterfly carb with an S&S teardrop air cleaner attached. What worries me is that the air cleaner and carb are held in place by a strut that is attached to what I think is the breather hole on the front cylinder with a bolt that is completely plugging the hole. The breather hole on the rear cylinder is completely left open.
The guy he bought it from insists that pre-CV Evos don't have breathers and that those holes can be safely plugged, but the holes are where the breathers are on my 1993 FXSTC.
What's the truth here? Should I be worried?
